Stunning 2012 debut album from Swindon Prog rockers Tin Spirits, featuring former XTC guitarist Dave Gregory. Fans of Dave Gregory, (one of the most original and inventive guitarists the UK has ever produced), will find him in scintillating form on this new release. The album comprises four original compositions, along with a cover of the Genesis classic "Back in NYC", a heavy hint as to some of the influences at work here. With its complex arrangements, ambitious scale and outstanding musicianship, Wired To Earth channels the spirit of 1970s Progressive rock, yet it remains firmly anchored to the present by strong melodies and irresistible hooks. This is Progressive Rock with impeccable pop sensibilities, and it provides a fittingly rich and varied backdrop for Dave Gregory"s superb guitar work. His trademark blend of psychedelic "60s jangle, "70s rock riffing and new wave angularity has never sounded more compelling or vital.
