  1. Well, I find this Podcast Video interesting. The technological know how to deliver it to my Mac for free is commendable for a start.

    It doesn’t seem to fit into the conventional “song format structure” that I would anticipate from an XTC creation. More experimental and atmospheric than predictable and pop.

    I still love good well structured songs.

  3. The 4 newer tacks are even better the the album imo.
    Trippy, hypnotic….I’d even say catchy (to my ears).

  5. Reminds me a little of another love King Crimson. I don’t know if I could go as far as saying its quite good.I just really love anything you Swindon boys come up with. Keep those wheels turning, turning circles across this great big universe of ours.
