Oranges & Lemons

Oranges & Lemons (1989) more music like this

by XTC

Skylarking was an ambitious yet concise record, one that recalled such graceful concept albums as Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper, so it wasn't entirely a surprise that XTC embraced psychedelia on its double-album follow-up, Oranges & Lemons, especially if their celebrated Dukes of Stratosphear side project was taken into consideration as well. Oranges ...

English Settlement

English Settlement (1982) more music like this

by XTC

Andy Partridge's discovery of the 12-string guitar set the tone for English Settlement, an album that moved away from the pop gloss of Black Sea in favor of lighter, though still rhythmically heavy, acoustic numbers with more complex and intricate instrumentation. There are plenty of pop gems -- "Senses Working Overtime" stands as one of their ...

Nonsuch

Nonsuch (1992) more music like this

by XTC

Since Skylarking, each XTC album was carefully composed and crafted, and Nonsuch is no different. Working with producer Gus Dudgeon (Elton John), XTC crafted their most immaculate album to date with Nonsuch. A measured and reflective record, recalling the Beach Boys more than the Beatles, the album retains some of their late-'80s psychedelic ...

Wasp Star (Apple Venus, Pt. 2)

Wasp Star (Apple Venus, Pt. 2) (2000) more music like this

by XTC

Anyone expecting Wasp Star: Apple Venus, Vol. 2 to continue the majestic acoustic-orchestral blends of Apple Venus will be disappointed, because it's a straightforward collection of sharp, witty, well-constructed pop songs. Directness is perhaps the oddest thing about Wasp Star - it's unassuming pop from a band that operated on a conceptual plain ...

MTV: Best of 120 Minutes, Vol. 1

MTV: Best of 120 Minutes, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

Released in 1991, Rhino's MTV: Best of 120 Minutes is one of the last snapshots of college rock/alternative music just before grunge dominated, inflated, and ultimately burnt out the genre. The Red Hot Chili Peppers' version of "Higher Ground" is probably the album's hardest-rocking track -- though Sonic Youth's classic "Kool Thing" comes close -- ...

Skylarking

Skylarking (1986) more music like this

by XTC

Working with producer Todd Rundgren didn't necessarily bring XTC a sense of sonic cohesion -- after all, every record since English Settlement followed its own interior logic -- but it did help the group sharpen its focus, making Skylarking its tightest record since Drums and Wires. Ironically, Skylarking had little to do with new wave and ...

Compact XTC: The Singles 1978-1985

Compact XTC: The Singles 1978-1985 (1987) more music like this

by XTC

An expanded version of 1983's excellent singles compilation Waxworks, Compact XTC: The Singles 1978-1985 is simply that: all of the group's singles from 1978's White Music to 1985's The Big Express, in chronological order and including the misbegotten attempt at writing a proper hit single, 1980's "Wait Till Your Boat Goes Down," which wisely ...

Drums and Wires

Drums and Wires (1979) more music like this

by XTC

Following Go 2, keyboardist Barry Andrews left XTC and, rather than finding a replacement keyboard player, the band opted to recruit another guitarist (who could also play keyboards), Dave Gregory. The album that followed the lineup change, Drums and Wires, marks a turning point for the band, with a more subdued set of songs that reflect an ...

Upsy Daisy Assortment

Upsy Daisy Assortment (1997) more music like this

by XTC

Instead of releasing the complete double-disc set Fossil Fuel: The XTC Singles 1977-92, the American division of Geffen decided to assemble Upsy Daisy Assortment, a 19-track budget-priced collection that follows XTC from 1979's Drums & Wires to 1992's Nonsuch. Such a decision was conceivably driven by the idea that casual fans and the curious will ...

Greatest Hits of the 80's [1999 Disky] (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Like the box sets devoted to the 1960s and 1970s released by Dutch label Disky, Greatest Hits of the 80's is a massive collection that should have qualifications applied to its all-encompassing title. First, Disky licenses primarily from EMI, so its hits are largely restricted to that major label's vaults. (This is not as great a limitation as it ...

Coat of Many Cupboards (2002) more music like this

by XTC

XTC fans are a dedicated lot. There may not be many of them, but nearly all of them need to hear everything the group ever recorded. They'll happily spend hundreds of dollars on rare singles and bootlegs, or buy official releases of demos, even when they sound nearly identical to the official release, so a four-disc box set of rarities, demos, ...

Apple Venus, Pt. 1 (1999) more music like this

by XTC

Seven years is a long time between records, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Apple Venus is a significant step forward from Nonsuch, but the sparse strings and circular arrangements of "River of Orchids" nevertheless come as a shock, especially since its slow build-up feels as ominous and intellectual as 20th century classical music. It ...

Fossil Fuel: The XTC Singles 1977-1992 (1996) more music like this

by XTC

Fossil Fuel: The XTC Singles 1977-1992 is a splendid double-disc set that runs through every one of the group's 31 A-sides, from the nervy "Science Friction" to the lush, sighing "Wrapped in Grey." Between those two songs, XTC's craftsmanship grows remarkably fast -- based on the edgy pop of their new wave singles "Statue of Liberty," "This Is Pop ...

Richard Blade's Flashback Favorites, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

Each volume of Richard Blade's Flashback Favorites collects rare dance mixes and 12-inch versions of songs from familiar new wave and post-punk bands. This is specialist material, but for collectors seeking these mixes, these CD collections are an excellent choice. Vol. 3 contains 12 songs, including Wire Train's "Chamber of Hellos," the Bongos' ...

The Big Express (1984) more music like this

by XTC

XTC took full advantage of their studio-bound status with The Big Express, creating their most painstakingly detailed, multi-layered, sonically dynamic album to date. The more upbeat material and brighter sound recall some of the band's earlier moments, but most of all, The Big Express signals a turning point for the band, setting the blueprint ...

Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

One of the very best volumes in a generally superb series, the third volume of Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's ups the ante in every respect. The crossover hits are bigger, the cult hits better, the novelties weirder and funnier. Best of all, it remembers that new wave wasn't confined to new bands; it also includes semi-veterans ...

Carmen Sandiego: Out of This World (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

This is the soundtrack to a computer game that in turn is based on the children's television series "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?" Be that as it may, it consists largely of songs by Greg Lee, plus selections by Rockapella, XTC, and They Might Be Giants (who explain the sun), and much of it is appealing pop-rock music. William Ruhlmann, ...

Black Sea (1980) more music like this

by XTC

XTC continue on with the big drum sound of Drums and Wires, adding more polish and an even heavier-hitting approach for Black Sea -- their arrangements are fuller and they rock harder than ever before. Where Drums and Wires implied social commentary, Black Sea more directly addresses sociopolitical concerns, handling them not strictly in a ...

First Generation: Virgin 25 Years (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

Most people think of Virgin Records as the multinational recording conglomerate that has proven to be one of the giants of the industry in the 1990s. Indeed, that is true. However, like a lot of big dinosaurs, they got their start as one of the most feisty independents of their time. Virgin XXV Years collects a lot of label material that reflects ...

Mummer (1983) more music like this

by XTC

Mummer, the first album to follow Andy Partridge's mental breakdown, which led to XTC's retirement from touring, is very much the work of an eccentric in isolation. The album is a collection that builds on the groundwork of English Settlement with gentle, acoustic songs that evoke pastoral images and peaceful times. There are moments of real ...

Go 2 (1978) more music like this

by XTC

Recorded in a rush, less than a year after White Music, Go 2 predictably suffered. The album, while slightly more melodic, reprises much of the quirky, high-energy playing of White Music, but the material is considerably weaker this time out. Aside from a couple of standout tracks like "Mechanic Dancing," Go 2 is probably most memorable for its ...

As with his own music career, Rundgren has never been afraid to take on a wide variety of musical styles, and he applies the same rule ...

Waxworks: Some Singles 1977-1982 (1982) more music like this

Though it has been since supplanted by more comprehensive XTC collections -- the most notable being Fossil Fuel, which repeats all of the Waxworks tracks plus the later singles -- Waxworks: Some Singles 1977-1982 remains the classic compilation of the band's first, pre-studio-bound period. Originally, the album was packaged with a second record, ...
