Dome, c'est Bruce Gilbert et Graham Lewis, un duo créé suite au chomage technique imposé par la (première !) dissolution du groupe Wire en 1980. Déjà Wire, le groupe, avait une place à part dans l'explosion du punk anglais, projet d'étudiants en école d'art soucieux de profiter de la liberté du moment. Dome va plus loin, effaçant les catégories au profit de l'utilisation du studio dans ses possibilités multiples. Un magnifique document sur un exemple d'inventivité dans la scène alternative des années 80. Les quatre albums du groupe 'Dome' (juillet 1980), 'Dome 2' (octobre 1980), 'Dome 3' (octobre 1981), 'Will You Speak This Word : Dome IV' (mai 1983) + 'Yclept' (1989 - 1999) dans un superbe coffret contenant ces cinq vinyls avec nouveau design de couverture signé David Coppenhall, des reproductions des annonces signées de l'Atelier Koninck des deux premiers albums, un texte d'Howard Jacques et Neil Martinson plus des photos inédites. Et cerise sur la gateau, une boîte d'alumette à l'effigie du groupe. Recommandé et excellent cadeau en cette fin d'année !!!

With the demise of the group Wire in 1980, founder members Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis joined forces to create Dome. With the assistance of engineer Eric Radcliffe and his Blackwing Studio Dome took the ethic of “using the studio as a compositional tool” and recorded and released three Dome albums on their own label in the space of 12 months: DOME (July 1980), DOME 2 (October 1980) and DOME 3 (October 1981). A final fourth album, WILL YOU SPEAK THIS WORD: DOME IV was released on the Norwegian Uniton label in May 1983.
These albums represent some of the most beautifuly stark and above all timeless exercises in studio experimentation from early 1980s alternative music scene.

With the re-activation of Wire in 1985 it was thought that all Dome activity had ceased. Whilst no new recordings appeared Dome utilised any spare time to secretly record new pieces. In 1989 dancer/choreographer Michael Clark commissioned them to record a piece for his new ballet ‘Because We Must’. In the same year they also performed live in Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
In 1999 WMO commissioned Dome to record new pieces to accompany the recordings from 1989. This compilation, entitled YCLEPT, would be the final recordings, to date, that Dome have made.
DOME 1-4 appearing on vinyl for the first time in over 30 years, whereas the recordings making up YCLEPT (DOME 5) appear for the first time on vinyl.
