We will be publishing a series of articles in the coming days by a range of our contributors, but in the meantime, a playlist of tracks Alan Licht used to test Reed back in 2009 is available here.

Wire writer and Pere Ubu guitarist Keith Moliné is releasing an album on vacuum packed label Entr'acte, which contains two pieces.
