>>72623067
I was gonna make a thread just for that transition alone lol. Yeah it's incredible

>>72623591
It's the GOAT transisition

I love those songs, they just epitomise summer for me. One of the happiest albums I've ever heard.

>>72623067

never heard or seen this before

listening to now

Truly a fantastic album. Anyone delved into their other stuff, I listened to English Settlement and thought it was quite good, not listened to anything else as yet. Recs?

I think Black Sea is better than English settlement, but i'd recommend you listen to whole discography. Their first two albums might be bit challenging though. Also check out their side project Dukes of Stratosphere (they went full psychedelic for this one).

And if you want to even further down the rabbit hole, checkout Martin Newell's "The Greatest Living Englishman"

FINALLY AN XTC THREAD
>>72623661
It's very good stuff.
>>72623925
First four songs IMO are very good, rest of the album falls into either really high beat stuff or slower stuff that feels closer to reggae. English Roundabout specifically is pretty meh.
As for other albums, Black Sea, Drums and Wires, Oranges and Lemons, Mummer.
Dukes of Stratosphere is also very good, with Vanishing Girl being my pleb favorite.

Som'ones knacking in th' distance, but I'm deaf n' blind

What did Andy Partridge mean by this?

Posting favorite song from each album because XTC threads are rare:
White Music: Science Friction
Go 2: I Am The Audience
Drums and Wires: When You're Near Me I have Difficulty
Black Sea: Travels in Nihilon
English Settlement: Runaways
Mummer: Great Fire
The Big Express: Wake Up
Skylarking: Earn Enough For Us
Oranges and Lemons: Scarecrow People
Nonsuch: The Disappointed
Dukes: Vanishing Girl.

All of Dukes is weird, with the little girl telling a story throughout it. Weird in a good way, though.
