Free Music Review: XTC's finest hour.
Hit: 5 Stars
"And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
And I've got one, two, three, four, five,
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to tell the difference
'tween the goods and grime
Turds and treasure
And there's one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I've got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference
'tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and the pleasure,
And the church bells softly chime."
English Settlement is quintessential XTC, and is considered a turning point in the band's career, from the irascible, high-pitched band it was, to the sublime, quirky, psychedelic-pop band it was to become. English Settlement was a 1980s existential anthem of the horrors of modern life. At the time of this album, XTC consisted of Colin Moulding (vocals, fretless bass, Fender bass, mini-Korg, piano, percussion), tortured-genius Andy Partridge (lead and backing vocals, electric guitar, semi-acoustic electric 12-string guitar, semi-acoustic electric guitar, acoustic guitar, mini-Korg, Prophet V, anklung, alto sax, percussion, frog), Dave Gregory (electric 12-string guitar, electric guitars, nylon-string Spanish guitar, semi-acoustic electric 12-string guitar, Prophet V, mini-Korg, backing vocals, percussion, piano), and Terry Chambers (drums, drum synthesiser, percussion, backing vocals). Released on February 12, 1982, the album resulted in three UK singles: "Senses Working Overtime" (the album's finest cut, in my opinion), "Ball And Chain," and "No Thugs in Our House." In promoting this album, XTC only performed nine shows on their 1982 English Settlement World Tour due to Partridge's on-stage mental breakdown at Le Palace in Paris, France on March 18, 1982.
