Funny clip-thanks for the link.
That's great! Big endorsement from Harry Shearer too. Wow.
Yeah, seeing Harry Shearer was a nice surprise BUT describing XTC at any of their phases as punk is just wrong, wrong, wrong.
I guess I'm one of the fans that was a fan the first time I heard This is Pop!

Never listened to XTC until the I purchased a couple of the Wilson BDAs - Drums & Wire and Skylarking. Love them now. The former is fantastic new wave pop while the latter is great Brit pop. The great surround work by Steven and the incredible extras make the purchase of the remaining titles in this great series a no brained for me!
I also "discovered" XTC thanks to these SW mixes, plus a push in the right direction from loving Dave Gregory's work with Big Big Train (and Tin Spirits). I can't believe I waited until Skylarking to buy them all. I agree that Nonsuch is one hell of an album, my favorite of the three I've listened to so far (haven't had a chance at Skylarking yet, ironically). "Wrapped In Grey" is stunning. I liked what I heard on these albums so much that I bought the Fossil Fuel compilation and have been listening to most of it in heavy rotation, but especially the tracks from English Settlement and "Love On A Farmboy's Wages" from Mummer. I do hope tapes for both those albums are found! I've decided to wait to buy them until their Surround Series releases come out... But I'm not sure my resolve will hold out that long!Yes, definitely.
