The 11th studio album by XTC, a British band that suddenly appeared during the punk boom.
This is a hidden gem of a album that shows Andy's beautiful singing voice intersecting with the twisted musicality to create beautiful pop songs. The arrangements are also colorful and free-flowing, allowing you to enjoy the worldview.
XTC, who still have a core fan base that still shows off their British style, released this album seven years after their previous album "Nonsuch". Perhaps because of the long break, sales were poor in their home country at the time, but for some reason it was a hit in Japan, reaching 14th place on the Oricon charts. It is still a popular album among music fans.
