BastillePark Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Thanks for doing that as I've enjoyed them for a while. "Dear God" being my favorite from them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Very clever songwriters. Steven Wilson has remixed a bunch of their albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry1973 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) I have always loved XTC, especially their post Dear God output. One album I retroactively discovered in recent years is the Big Express. And this song just connected. The 80s production, the Copeland style halftime beat, the apocalyptic tone and lyrics. Just beautiful and melancholy. Edited November 13, 2023 by chemistry1973 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those who are involved in music it's creation I mean, will appreciate this clip, how it closely resembles the album version. It's a great song too, superb writing and arrangements. Sad to sound so disparagingly, but there are too many flaky fakers into flaky music, Taylor Swift etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
