Review

Q (8/01, p.161) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...This beautifully packaged set of tidied-up home demos is a fascinating glimpse into the creative process..."

Product note

XTC: Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding.
Recorded at Andy Partidge and Colin Moulding's home studios in England. Includes liner notes by Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding.
As they did with APPLE VENUS VOLUME ONE and its companion demo album HOMESPUN, XTC offers up this peek at the making of their APPLE VENUS VOLUME TWO (WASP STAR). Reduced to a duo of Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding, XTC continues to work as they have for most of their history, individually creating detailed demos of their songs at their own home studios.
Both writers have fairly detailed and explicit notions for the shape of their songs, with these demos sounding remarkably like their finished counterparts, albeit with not as much sonic breadth (some were done direct to cassette and none have the real drums which we utilized on the final recordings). A few numbers are heard in a couple of different versions, showing the course of development moving nicely forward. The 24-page booklet has the duo providing their annotations about the songs' origins and evolution, along with early drafts of their lyrics.

Album Description

A collection of demo and alternate versions of songs that appeared on 'Wasp Star (Apple Venus Vol.2)'. This album is the first to be released on the band's own label and is a companion to 'Homespun' which features the home demos of the songs on 'Apple Venus Vol.1'
