Free Music Notes for Fuzzy Warbles Collector's Album

Free Music Review: Fine set if you enjoy unrelated songs overlapping and never ending properly.
Hit: 3 Stars

The content on these nine disks are fantastic. Some of the best songwriting of the last twenty-five years or so. Easily. However, if you are like a large segment of modern music-listeners you may utilize the shuffle button on your CD player, or, you own an Ipod and may hear tracks randomly, etc. Well, someone must have loaned Sgt. Pepper to Andy while they were mixing Black Sea because ever since the fadeout of "Towers Of London" and the barely-audible intro to "Paper And Iron" XTC fans have been treated to (whether we liked it or not) songs that either crossfade/start unnecessarily on top of the previous track or directly ending as the next track begins. It's been this way on every album ever since Black Sea. It's his redundant crutch/formula of either creating a false sense of an album experience or perhaps he thinks the listener may lose interest? Either way, it's been an irritating thing to come to expect album after album. The only time it's actually worked (or, more accurately, been seemingly appropriate) was when it was Todd Rundgren's idea when he was in charge of it on Skylarking. This mindless overlapping of tracks even exists on the great rarities/B-sides compilation/collection Rag 'N' Bone Buffet (explain that one to me).
The only thing those tracks have in common is their B-Side status. Talk about a contrived listening experience.

Now please don't get me wrong - if I were to have to narrow it down I'd have to say XTC is one of my all-time favorite bands. Perhaps this makes it more frustrating. Perhaps not. Either way Andy is up to his old, overused, one trick again. That's right. And on a demo collection of all things. A strum-and-hum-job from 1979 ("Complicated Game") fading into an eight-track Tascam demo from 1987. Must there be an artificial "experience" on all things XTC? Thanks to Andy, yes. There must never be any silence between tracks ever. And every song overlaps onto another (ala the Sgt.Pepper formula).

If you want there to be violently loud and seemingly clipped, chopped intros and outros then this set is just for you. If you actually like these songs to fade out, or enjoy having these songs simply ring out on their last note, or if you are partial to a second or three of silence between properly indexed tracks or your tracks to be simply properly indexed you will be irritated to no end. Enjoy.

Fuzzy Warbles Collector's Album Poster

The Fuzzy Warbles Collectors Album brings together over 100 songs from XTC frontman Andy Partridge's songwriting archive. Recorded over the years whilst Andy and XTC were signed to Virgin Records and later to the Idea and Ape labels, the material is spread across eight volumes featuring songs and alternate versions of many XTC favorites that never made it onto the respective final albums or never made the cut when the final tracklistings were decided. There are also songs Andy never got to complete that he's re-visited and finished off especially for this Fuzzy Warbles series.

Each disc has a unique Fuzzy Warbles stamp cover artwork and the collector's box to keep them all in is designed to imitate a stamp album. There is even a bonus CD, Hinges, which features nine extra tracks only available with this set. Inside each box is a landscape oversized booklet, in which Andy gives a fascinating insight to his recording process with "A Brief History of Home Taping." Describing his earliest experiences of recording music at home and the excitement of those first recording sessions, it all makes fascinating reading, tinged with just a hint of regret as to how the songwriting process has become so bland as recording technology makes things easier and easier.

The final piece of the Fuzzy Warbles Collectors Album jigsaw is your own sheet of Fuzzy Warbles stamps to play with, if anyone could ever dare to part with them!
When XTC stopped touring and became a studio-only entity, the finely jeweled arrangements that Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding had already favored took on incredible new breadth and depth. Since 2002, Partridge has been going through his own vast archives, releasing eight volumes in a U.K.-only series called Fuzzy Warbles. They are finally available in the U.S. in one gorgeously designed Collector's Album, along with a bonus disc, Hinges. With over 100 songs, the set includes early versions and demos of songs which appeared on XTC albums, previously unreleased gems, and songs for a wide range of outside projects, including the Disney movie James and the Giant Peach (which are so dazzling it boggles the mind that the deal ultimately fell apart). There are whims borne to fruition (an answering machine ditty), and flat-out brilliant slices of songcraft finally brought to light. What's truly remarkable is how complete are Partridge's sensibilities, as both a songwriter and arranger. Everything is considered and tended to--a background vocal here, a tambourine there--it all matters and it all sparkles. --David Greenberger
