XTC Artist Snapshot:

XTC virtually defined the dividing line between punk and new-wave, adding punk's raw energy to their herky-jerky rhythms, funhouse arrangements and Beatles-influenced songcraft. In the early 1980s, bandleader Andy Partridge surrendered to his stage fright and retired the band from live performance, but XTC continued to make smartly crafted pop records. By the end of the decade the band even began to make mainstream inroads, popping up on MTV and charting a 1988 modern rock #1 with "Mayor of Simpleton."

Review

Q (7/01, p.139) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...A masterpiece....a rocking, modern psychedelic experience which Oasis might want to consult some time soon..."
CMJ (1/5/04, p.26) - Ranked #6 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1989"

Title Note

XTC: Andy Partridge (vocals, guitar); Colin Moulding (vocals, bass); Dave Gregory.

All tracks have been digitally remastered using 24 Bit technology.

Using a 60s Milton Glaser-type cover illustration, this purported to be a retro album. In reality it was another extremely fine XTC album, their ninth in a series of classy, offbeat pop exercises from the musically fertile brain of Andy Partridge, who hated touring and loved to stay at home as a reclusive pop star. This is probably their best album and features Partridge's most complete and satisfying song. "The Loving" and "The Mayor Of Simpleton" are both excellent compositions, but they pale against the exceptional "Chalkhills And Children." On this, Partridge celebrates that his home (the nearby chalkhills) and children keep him sane and well-grounded against the possible excesses to which he would succumb as a touring popster.
