Wire Train is a good train to ride

"The music world is full of casulties and this band was one of them. They should have been filling large halls and stadiums. What was the friggin record company thinking about? Two words describe this band:GREAT SONGWRITING! Buy this, because you won't be disappointed. Why did all these great bands fall by the wayside during the 80's? Check out The Last Perfect Thing and I Will.Two great songs out of many that this band released.
This band holds a very special place in my heart and I was already thirty years old when I first heard them in the mid-eighties."

"This is a classic album (well ok, actually two albums) that somehow got overlooked by many people, and even though I don't dwell on 80s music much anymore, I still love listening to this today. I won't even bother listing the tracks I like because they are ALL good. Seriously. It's amazing how consistently good the songwriting is. Shame they don't make too many albums like this anymore that are good from top to bottom. I also recommend the Wire Train albums NO SOUL NO STRAIN and the self-titled WIRE TRAIN, if you can find them. These came out later (early 90s?), and although very different from this album, they are also solid. I was lucky enough to see these guys live a number of times in the early 90s when I moved to San Francisco, and it's a shame they never quite broke through into the mainstream."

Truly a great CD

"I have read a lot of the reviews and can tell these are fans of Wire Train. And basically for the same reason that I am. I bought the tape of Chamber in 1988. It is 13 years past now. i am buying the double CD for the same reasons I bought the tape so long ago (I still have the tape BTW). This music is undefinable. I cannot place it with anything. It's heavy bass, tight lyrics and great vocals. i love these songs now, as much as I did so long ago. I don't know whateve happened to this band, but this is one of those rare gems that you find and be glad that you have it. My favorite song is Slow Down. I have no idea what it is about - to this day - but its a song that just takes me back. And that's what I want. Why in the hell are you looking to purchase this CD is beyond me - you shouldn't know this band - but if you are thinking about it. This CD stands that test of time. Truly one of the best I have ever heard or owned. Great production. Recommned it highly."
