XTC

[Rick and Roll]

Skylarking is most people's favorite....it's close for me. The difficult thing about having it on the Moon is the way the songs run together...but that's a minor thing.

In one of the CD's I bought (think it was Rag & Bone Buffet) there's a flyer called "If Those Dollars Are Buring A Hole In Your Pocket, Andy Tells You How To Rationalize The Musical Universe". There's a paragraph for each record.....

Skylarking: "Musician and producer Todd Rundgren squeezed the XTC clay into its most complete/connected/cyclical record ever. Not an easy album to make for various ego reasons But time has humbled me into admitting Todd conjured up some of the most magical production arranging conceivable. A summer's day cooked into one cake."

Oranges And Lemons: "Strip it down, build it up, here comes the dragster, polished and chrome, it's big, it's long and supercharged with song. She's hard and she's fast, eats future and shits past. Fifteen songs, a flourescent feast, you'd better be hungry!"
