Music Banter - What Are You Listening To Right Now? II

^ That voice :love:

I can't really stop listening to this at the minute. Reminds me that I really need to get hold of this myself and not rely on youtube to listen to it.

Yeah it's the first track from Oranges and Lemons. When I say it's one of XTC's weaker albums, that makes it a great album by the standards of any other band. And I do quite like it. :D

Chalkhills and Children is another top track. And Poor Skeleton Steps Out is so quirky and off-kilter... it gets my pick for underrated track.

This is pure bliss after the 4:20 mark... don't suppose it's a coincidence that it's real drugged-up music. :D

Yeah, I see what you mean there. As I say, there are only a couple of albums of their's I plain don't like. Other than that, their consistency is simply amazing, especially considering the span of their discography.
