AMG Review of English Settlement
Chris Woodstra
All Music GuideAndy Partridge's discovery of the 12-string guitar set the tone for English Settlement, an album that moved away from the pop gloss of Black Sea in favor of lighter, though still rhythmically heavy, acoustic numbers with more complex and intricate instrumentation. There are plenty of pop gems -- "Senses Working Overtime" stands as one of their finest songs -- but the main focus seems to be the more expansive sound; most of the songs are drawn out to near-epic length, ultimately taking some of the impact of the songs away. Despite several terrific tracks, English Settlement seems more a transitional album than anything else, although the textural sound of the album is quite remarkable, indicating the direction they would take in their post-touring incarnation.

But woe is me, Andy Partridge (AP) has stage fright and stopped touring eons ago. I read an interview with AP and the AV in The Onion. I was so sad to hear him feeling that he has vomited up all the music he has, that he suffers from T...

Staying with XTC, if you really want to get a feel for what a dynamic live/studio in session this band is you must pick up the Transistor Blast box set. I adore the first two discs of BBC recordings. No Thugs in our House is another punky/pop classic. I especially love this version, listen for Andy Partridge sniffle at 4:21. He makes the little things like a sniffle sound so freaking cool. I a...
