Wisdom of Harry is Peter Astor. late of nostalgic faves, Creation Records' Weather Prophets and The Loft. he's been recording low-key electronic music as Wisdom of Harry, State River Widening, and Ellis Island Sound (the last two with partners, the first solo). there's a Wisdom of Harry CD due out on Matador - Stars of Super 8 - just a collection of tracks from the sought-after WoH 7"s. if you're in the UK, it's already available on Astor's (?) label. it's pretty good. eclectic bedroom electronic-flavored stuff with those cool, frosty Astor vocals. lots of different styles. sometimes sounds like a mix-up of Weatherall, Beck, and Belle & Sebastian. was c-pij 004 ever released? mr. e. now on: maxime de la rochefoucauld: automates ki (plastique)
