XTC NONSUCH
"NONSUCH" is XTC's 10th album. It features 17 new fracks, 13 of them written by Andy Partridge and 4 by Colin Moulding. 'Though XTC's detractors will continue to label them clever for cleverness's sake, a quirky New Wave joke curling fast at the comers; I'd like to hear one or two of the currently favoured guitar bands shoe-gaze their way into this sort of cerebral territory." 8/10 Vox. "Uk's most underrated
band returns with another breathtakingly varied amalgam of pop styles. The Songs of Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding leave the listener completely exhausted after, having heard the most surprising melodical twists and elaborated arrangements. Songs like "The Disappointed", "Humble Daisy", and "Wrapped In Grey" are simply too irresistible to ignore". Music And Media.
