I'm trying to decide on 1 or 2 albums to get myself. Tempted by The Big Express, but with every other song, I keep changing my mind! There are so many that are absolutely brilliant on so many different levels!
I've just discovered XTC and i've listening to this album the last week. I think it's perfect. What of their albums do you recommend to listen next? Someone help me please!
I've wondered for years and years how these guys are so amazing - best lyrics - best instrumentation...beautiful guita...I love love love them. The End.
I remember bying this album because of Dear God only to find out the Vinyl version had Mermaid Smiled in it's place. It did not matter because a couple hours later, I had 6 or 7 stand out tunes from a grand LP

Whoever uploaded these seems to have applied a rather abusively loud compression

Well the two LPs after this classic will do ya well. "Oranges & Lemons" & "Nonsuch"
Early XTC classics "Black Sea" & "English Settlement" are holding up very well as the years pass. Ahhh College Daze

...and of course you really have to check out XTC's alter-ego band, The Dukes of Stratospheare... 25 O'Clock is an incredible album.
And a big thanks to FallingDown08 for posting all of these Skylarking songs.

Drums & Wires is imho the fiest XTC album...but what do i know. English Settlement is also mighty fine.....and don't forget Waspstar.

this song has been stuck in my head for the past few days, but it's one of those songs I'm glad to have stuck in my head.
