  • Most underrated British band in history? Try most underrated band in the history of the universe more like it.

  • Absolutely. I'm from Canada and XTC's music mops the floor with 99% of what's out there, even in my local scene. And there are some fine bands in Vancouver: Mother Mother, Parlour Steps and Veda Hille ( whom Andy signed to his Ape House label ) to name a few of the better ones. XTC write at such a high level. There's an art to what they do. They have the melody, lyrics, structures and atmosphere that's gives their music longevity. A continued ability to surprise long after its first release.

  • Actually, it looks like this was recorded AFTER Terry left, that's definitely NOT him on the kit.

  • Whoa. Where did THIS video come from? I would have thought the Play At Home video version would have been the only one ... this blows my mind!

  • Mh wow, I never knew there was a video for this song, amazng

  • thanks for uploading. I had never seen this video before.

  • I agree that they're underrated, but everything after Skylarking just devolved further and further into saccharin, Beatle-apery. I liked O&L for a week before I got a toothache from it, and "Nonsuch" was an abortion. I walked away.

    Now, "The Wedding Present"; THERE'S an underrated British band. Check out "Take Fountain" or "Watusi".

  • i've never heard guitar playing like it....this sounds so fresh! got to love XTC.

  • one of the few bands that makes me proud to be english.

  • Not to take away anything that XTC had done before "Mummer, " but this was the first time that Andy and Colin's song writing really carried the whole show. The recording was a patchwork with a few producers that was put together in the aftermath of the aborted "English Settlement" tour, but it remains my favorite as one of their most honest up to that point, without many production gimmicks.

  • Cant believe this video. Great great stuff here. like they're not playing to a drum machine. Andy and Colin on synths, and Now I can watch what Dave plays. hah
