There are some records that changed my life forever, and Chairs Missing is one of them. I first heard this record when it came to this country as a . import over thirty years ago, and it is still as fantastic to me now as it was then. It certainly pointed me in a different direction and showed me the possibilities of what a band could be and do. From the moment I heard it, I was off down a new road, and I've never looked back. Sadly underrated, do yourself a favor and get this incredible album by an amazing band that was truly decades ahead of its time

Chairs Missing is the second album by the British band Wire. It was released in 1978.
