@GuyfromScotland " Frankly, Tim Smith is a genius, comparable to Schubert or Louis Armstrong. There is no one like him in contemporary music. "
That quote is not to be scoffed at either. Cardiacs and every off shoot from them, to do with Tim Smith at least, is unlike anything i have ever heard. Favourite bands of mine have come and gone over the years, but without equal, Cardiacs will probably be the only band i will listen to all the time until i die. They NEVER gets dull, it is beautiful !

I've only just realized how mind bending and beautiful this songs is, it is very mind bending and beautiful.

Nothing comes close to The Cardiacs, nothing!! :-)

@pressgangers - zero. How much do the Sex Pistols owe to Green Day? Same. Zero.

@FrankTownsend A true alternative music fan would want an alternative to "alternative" music. Thank god for Cardiacs. They are the alternative that alternative music needs!!!



TBH there is no comparison between mainstream bands like the Pixies, etc., and Cardiacs.
No disrespect to the Pixies, but they are simply a fairly normal good-quality rock band, solidly normal actually. Nothing in their catalogue remotely approaches songs like 'The Everso Closely Guarded Line' or 'Buds and Spawn' by Cardiacs.
Frankly, Tim Smith is a genius, comparable to Schubert or Louis Armstrong. There is no one like him in contemporary music.

Christ, the Pixies were great and the Cardiacs are great, end of story.
This is a fantastic track and all you indie kids out there should watch and learn.
By the way, get well soon Mr Smith, thousands are rooting for ya!
