To mark the 40th anniversary of Listen Like Thieves, INXS has teamed up with renowned Music Director Giles Martin to breathe new life into the iconic album. The result? A modern mix that honors the original while elevating its sound for today’s vinyl lovers.
In a special behind-the-scenes look, Giles Martin walks us through his meticulous remixing process. Central to it all is one key element: Wrensilva. As his go-to reference system, the Wrensilva console plays a crucial role in ensuring every nuance of the record translates beautifully to the home listener.
“There’s something emotional about the fact that you have a needle on a groove—that is being physically moved by someone’s voice—and there’s an impact to that, that you only get through vinyl.”
— Giles Martin, Music Director for INXS and Sound Advisor for Wrensilva
For Giles, vinyl isn’t just about audio fidelity—it’s about experience.
“The fun thing about vinyl, the fun thing about having a Wrensilva console, is you can actually physically put your record on—and so there’s a deliberation to your choice, and then it’s a performance,” says Martin.
This special edition mix of Listen Like Thieves is more than a tribute—it’s a celebration of timeless sound, analog charm, and the art of intentional listening.
