Let's face it, time is slipping by, XTC are getting towards being a "Vintage" band, lauded not by the masses, but by those who have a particular interest in the musical styles of the past. Yes, yes, I know XTC are still very much with us in the present, but they have stuck with their own blueprint, forged in the late 70's. I think it's a superb blueprint, and it has helped make them one of the finest groups of the era. But eventually, the tastes of emergingly affluent members of generations Y and Z tend to be satisfied only by music which is totally "now", which an integral part of pop music anyway. I don't mind the idea of XTC becoming vintage. Hey, you mentioned the Beatles. It's an interesting thought that for the first time in around three decades, there actually ARE people who are ignorant of the Beatles, or are dismissive of their importance. It kind of makes you feel privelaged to have lived in a time when the greatest music in recent history had real currency. -- Via Xenolink 1.90

For years my favorite XTC recording was English Settlement until Skylarking came out, which stands as my current favorite. Someone in Chalkhills 389 suggested various artists to cover Travels in Nihilon. My votes would be Nine Inch Nails or Brian Eno/John Cale (perhaps as an outtake of their recent album?) Also, can anyone recommend the recent Andy Partridge/Harold Budd album?

Two years later my (yes, older) brother introduced me to 'Grass'. This time I knew it was XTC, so I bought my first non-Beatle-related album ever : Skylarking. I've bought everything since then, and contrary to many people on the list, I actually like Go 2 and White music. I love their version of 'All along the watchtower'. 'Dear God' was a big 'alternative' hit in my country-of-origin, Belgium (yes, Anshuman Duneja -see Chalkhills 389- also country of Tintin ;-). It topped the alternative charts for about 6 months, I think. I don't know if that thread is still alive, but I think that Dear God is the best song to introduce people to XTC. My favourite song must be 'Then she appeared' or 'Language in our lungs'. I don't like Colin's songs very much, so pick any for the XTC-lemon. Bart

I looked him in the eye and said, "With that hat you look like Colin Moulding on the inside of the Skylarking album by XTC." He gave me a blank stare, but the cute woman behind him asked agitatedly, "You like XTC!?!" "Yeah, they're my favorite band...you?" "Me too!" at which point she grabbed my hand and led me outside to discuss the virtues of XTC. We set our wedding for October 27, 1997. You are all invited. ;-) gReg PS - While I doubt we will really get married, it's nice to know that the cosmic dust of the universe provides a bond amongst those who share good taste.

------------------------------ From: OLIVER@slais.ubc.ca Organization: SLAIS, UBC Date: 31 Oct 94 11:53:20 GM+5 Subject: drums and wireless/tribute album/not andy/ Some comments on various things discussed lately: I got the new "Drums and Wireless" CD over the weekend. I can't say I would call this an essential purchase. The strange thing about this CD is that it's not really live; it seems that at the BBC they like people to come in and record songs for their radio shows, but the songs are done as studio recordings, with overdubs and all. Many of the tracks on the CD (particularly those from English Settlement, Big Express and O&L) sound almost exactly like their album counterparts but with more primitive production (e.g. not so much overdubbing, drum machines). There's virtually no variation from the original arrangements. I know that Andy is very particular about how he arranges his songs, so he sees no interest in changing that. But I feel the only interesting live recordings are those where the songs are experimented with, either slightly or drastically (see Joe Jackson's live LP for an excellent example) . I do like the other BBC live CD because it captures the energy of the band in concert, which we shall never hear for ourselves. But this one is basically just for completists and doesn't have a lot of intrinsic interest for me. So XTC are getting the tribute treatment. I find it pretty easy to imagine the Crash Test Dummies doing PP; imagine it set to the tempo and arrangement of MMM MMM MMM MMM and you'll see what I mean. Someone mentioned Oingo Boingo; have people heard the new Boingo CD? It actually sounds quite like XTC and not like Elfman's film music or the old, hyper Oingo Boingo stuff, so they might be a good choice for the tribute album. Adrian Belew is also a good idea, and how about our old friends Sam Phillips and Aimee Mann? Martin Newell? Peter Blegvad? I do agree though that tribute albums generally suck. Every one I've ever bought has languished unlistened-to on my shelf until I sell it. Even a pretty good one like the new Richard Thompson tribute is only really good for one listen; I'd rather just listen to Thompson himself. Maybe the XTC one will be the exception that proves the rule. I'm glad we got confirmation on the Johnny Nexdor thing; I always knew it wasn't Andy.

Hi, folks.
Mike Minahan asked (in Chalkhills 389) about Explode Together.
As I mentioned in my intro a few weeks ago,
I picked it up in a cutout bin for $7
(after over two years of searching,
so don't go grumbling "lucky stiff" at me...).
It consists of:
1. the "Go+" EP - a collection of
overhauls/remixes/dub mixes of
tracks from the "Go 2" album
that was originally issued with
it (UK only, I think)
2. the Andy Partridge solo album -
credited to "Mr. Partridge" and
titled "Take Away/The Lure of Salvage".
Similarly, revamps of material from
the first 3 albums, EPs, and B-sides.
A lot of XTC fans probably hate this album.
It is experimental, at times incoherent,
lacking in the "big pop" hallmarks of
their typical sound, with lyrics either
randomly chopped from the original text
(Go+) or completely new lyrics that are
far stranger and more impressionistic
than Andy's (or Colin's) usual style
(Take Away/The Lure Of Salvage).
I love Explode Together. It continues their
largely playful, satirical attitude and turns
it in on themselves. It reflects Andy's
background in experimental listening
(Beefheart, Eno, Residents, among many others).
IMHO, some tracks are even improved (check out
Shore Leave Ornithology (Another 1950) as opposed
to Pulsing Pulsing, or Madhattan as opposed to
That Is The Way).
The single CD (on UK Virgin) can usually be
found for around $20, unless you're
fortunate (?!??!?) enough to have lived
in a really pathetic town like Dayton, OH,
where they can't appreciate stuff like this
and where I found the CD for $7.
Hope this was helpful.
Take care.

------------------------------ From: m.mccormick2@genie.geis.com Date: Tue, 1 Nov 94 06:42:00 UTC Subject: Little Express I'm surprised no one in Chalkhills is talking about the new Little Express yet. One of the big stories has to be the proposed XTC tribute album, so I was pleased to see producer Dave Yazbeck join us here. Welcome, Dave! But the other big story in LE seems to be Andy playing business hardball with record companies. I say more power to him. However, it does seem this will delay release of the _Somesuch_ CD from Virgin, delay recording the next XTC album, and totally cancel a planned Andy Partridge soundtrack for Disney. Sigh... Mike McCormick p.s. To whoever slammed the American music public for being such XTC-ignoring philistines: While I agree, let us not forget that no country has embraced XTC to nearly the extent of the USA. Brits do not buy XTC records.

In my own case, my older brother introduced me to them. I initially just recorded his LP's, but now I have all the available CD's that I know of. I'm a much bigger fan than my brother is now. I will still, on occasion, do an XTC marathon, where I listen to all the stuff I have by them. That's (I think) 14 CD's, and a few 12" B-sides. My brother used to tease me about my doing that. Anyway, there's definitely an older brother connection in my case. -Markus De Shon

Haven't heard it all yet (busy with everything!), but what I have heard makes me wish they'd put out a Vol. 3 covering just the years 1977-1979. It's all recorded very well, however. "Into the Atom Age" sounds great! "Dance Band" has these "gothic" keyboard embellishments by Barry; geez, they're great, I don't even think he's in the same key as the rest of the band! Darn...no "Skylarking" tracks! Why not??? You can get the CD through Silver Moon Digital, P.O. Box 57565, OK City, OK 73157 (Phone 405-840-3472). MasterCard/VISA accepted. The CD wound up costing $15.95, not $19.95 as SMD originally speculated it would cost, so they refunded my $4.00. $15.95 is pretty reasonable for an English import, no? Check out Newbury Comics if you live in the Eastern Mass./Southern NH area; I have seen this CD there as well. Wes

When the next XTC album is released, there's a customer boycott. Only after XTC has announced a live concert, fans in that city will then purchase the new album. This is just a rough idea, but is there any takers? We can send our petition to XTC's record company. yours John Pidgeon Toronto, Canada

My older brother (He: b. 1955, Me: b. 1964) weaned me on the Kinks, Roxy Music, David Bowie (and of course the Beatles - I remember vividly the night I found out the Beatles had broken up; I was 6). Later he introduced me to the Ramones, the Stranglers, the Jam, the Cramps, the Clash, etc. BUT I discovered XTC mostly on my own, from hearing a friend play Helicopter and then buying and trying myself. I traded for a Virgin Drums and Wires from my brother to get the lyric sheet; he had probably only played it once or twice.

I have hated Oingo Boingo passionately since they started and would NEVER
presume to lump them in the same TIME ZONE with XTC. (Sorry to Boingo
fans...no disrespect intended.) They have, to me, always represented the
most mechanical, un-human aspect of "new wave", and have never been
imaginative enough to bolster their way out of your average frat party.
XTC might have been mechanistic and cold early on, but their records were
still far better the Boingo's, and XTC have obviously warmed up considerably
over the course of their career.
The Violent Femmes I like, but I don't see the XTC connection. Gordon
Gano has always been fairly direct, and non-decorative with his lyrics.
And besides, Gano is a born-again Christian which I think we can safely
say Andy is not. (But Gano isn't the jerk, arch-conservative
type of born-again; he's very theoretical and non-elitist about it.)
They Might Be Giants just put out what I believe is their most developed
album to date (their first with a full band). They can be cloying but they
are wonderful melodists in my opinion. They resemble XTC the most
because of their pop instincts and their hyper-intellectual lyrics, but
I feel they're much more comical on a consistent basis than XTC.

A long while back I picked up the album "Kyabetsu" (Cabbage)
by the group Tama for a friend. He commented one of the songs on
it, "Boku-wa Helicopter" (I am a Helicopter) sounded like XTC's
song. Unfortunately at the time I hadn't heard Drums & Wires so
I couldn't comment. ...I've bought D&W since then, and it's probably
my favorite pre Skylarking album. (among this, Rag&Bone, Murmer, and
Eng.Settlement)
Tama is a Japanese accoustic folk-ish band. To the casual
listener, their songs are either pretty good, or 94% of the time,
screechingly annoying. =^)

Has anyone out there actually listened to Nonsvch lately? I think it ages well, and I am really starting to see the inner strength of many of its songs. I think it is a very introverted album, and as such, a lot of the material is hard to connect into. Specifically, I now think I would put "Rook" on my desert island ten list. God, that song cuts into me. The two bridges (yes, everyone, consult your Chalkhills vocabulary lists... :-> ) are especially powerful and are as forceful, IMNSHAISBO, as any of the shouting Andy did on the early stuff. Truly sublime material. I like the rest of the album as well. While I agree with the suggestion in a previous digest (sorry I forget who or when) that Omnibus wrecks the solemnity of Rook on the CD (it's the divide on the tape, so no problem there), I do like Omnibus; it's sweet and tasty. Also winners are Humble Daisy, Holly on the horse, That Wave, Then She Appeared, and yes, Books are Burning. *cringe* I expect I'll be defending that last in the future. Go ahead, take your shot.

I'd appreciate any comments and/or corrections, because I know there's a few bits that are simply wrong, and many more that aren't EXACTLY right, but pretty close.
