Great band, perfect album. A part of this song reminds me Buggles song "Elstree"(1981). But this makes this D.o.S. even more interesting. Dukes of Stratosphere showed how to make real outstanding psychedelic music, in years when a lot of bands were converting to psychedelic revival,with some good, bad and mediocre results.
Thank you very much! XTC mean the world to me. They are so important and, in my opinion, haven't ever gotten their due. I will certainly check that out. Lookin' forward to it a great deal!!!
I just listened to a very interesting interview with Colin on Rundgren Radio at blogtalk. It was two hours long with people calling in. You should check it out if you're a XTC fan. That show has also had Andy on.
I read that Colin Moulding doesn't want to do music anymore as per a phone conversation from Andy Partridge. I will miss them! I love this song very much!!!
"Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding are definately music-gods!"
And let's not forget Dave Gregory, the owner of the Mellotron you hear (which they picked up real cheap in the early '80s), and without whose technical prowess they wouldn't have been able to execute several ideas. :-)
heads up - someone's uploaded the full video of this song on youtube - mad track, madder video, well worth the watch though. if you like this do a search for mole from the ministry full video
At :56 it gets so bad ass and Psychadelic

Anybody know what XTC are up to these days? I guess I should 'Google' them, huh?

Probably the greatest song of the 1980s. :-)
