“Map Ref. 41ºN 93ºW”, Wire

This way: Map Ref. 41ºN 93ºW

I would put this in the list of my favorite top ten albums of all time. 

154 is the third album by the English post-punk band Wire, released in 1979 on EMI imprint Harvest Records in the UK and Europe and Warner Bros. Records in America. Branching out even further from the minimalist punk rock style of their earlier work, 154 is considered a progression of the sounds displayed on Wire's previous album Chairs Missing, with the group experimenting with slower tempos, fuller song structures and a more prominent use of guitar effects, synthesizers and electronics.  The album is so named because the band had played 154 gigs in their career at the time of the album's release.
