XTC- English Settlement

I am really tired of running into people who have never heard the majesty that is XTC. XTC is the kind of band that warrants rabid, frothing-mouth fandom. You should probably own their entire catalogue. You damn kids, with your hippity hop and Justin Tumberlicks (only kidding). Another band that is difficult to classify, XTC started out making jagged post-punk in the vein of Gang of Four and eventually moved to more lush and complex compositions, often being placed in the "new wave" genre. Songwriting duties were split between frontman Andy Partridge and bassist Colin Moulding, with Partridge writing the bulk of the material. This is just brilliant stuff: catchy, verbose, and meaningful. If you have missed them, don't go out until you here this album; then get everything else: http://www.mediafire.com/?txdbcymjngy
