I like the “Apple” tunes below, but that’s it. All of “Wasp” knocked my socks off from the get-go and continues to do so…🤷🏻♂️👍
Colin wanted both albums released as one, if I remember correctly? 🤔
@InUnfunky I think "The Last Balloon" is one of the great fade outs in album history, and it's a great song to follow "Harvest Festival".
I don't know the story of why they were released seperately - face it, Andy was going through some heavy stuff at that moment.
I think sometimes people just wanted more Skylarking and Oranges and Lemons and they weren't interested in that anymore.
IMO they got better with each album…so as far as I’m concerned that’s a problem for us — as XTC fans — to have. 🤔🤷🏻♂️🤣👍👍
@InUnfunky Love "The more complicated keyboard parts" in the credits!
@InUnfunky
It not their best album, but Black Sea is my favorite CD. I like choppy and bouncy.

@InUnfunky
I like your pick.
Also, I know that you have training in logic and rock 'n' roll.
Here is your medal for studying XTC on this #Caturday
@InUnfunky Great album, but I always tend to lead to Apple Venus Vol. 1.
Slower, more moody, but full of stuff I wish I had written.
