I bought "drums" when it first came out and had the chance to see'em at "the old waldorf" in SF in support. Great show and still like "drums". I've listened to tne newer releases and I hear the talent but there's not enough edge for me.
Any XTC fans?
I'm listening to XTC's "Apple Venus" right now. This is really good stuff. I believe "Skylarking" is the critic's favorite but "Oranges and Lemons" has always been mine. I've listened to "Apple Venus" five or six times in the past week and it's getting to me (in a good way). Why have I listened to it so frequently? My house is packed for an upcoming move and I only left 40 or 50 cds unpacked and this is one of them. Reducing your selection is not a bad thing as it brings you closer to some good music.
