This short album on the sorely-missed City Centre Offices is a posthumous release by Carl Crack and his collaborator Frederic Stader, working together as Firewire. A TRIBUTE TO THE MANZINI, has a heavy dose of melancholy, as the tones of "Open Ur Eyes" are held down by the grinding percussion. The vocals are reverbed into infinity, it seems, and "No One There" swerves tonally, using the lyrics from "A House is Not a Home" to slightly creepy effect. The twisted R&B of "4 Ever" and "No Exit" send the romance in a different direction. The spareness of 'Every Day" and tonal mysteries of "Down" lead the album out blindfolded. Though it's a pity that there'll be no further releases from Firewire, this helps show what could have been.
