5.0 out of 5 stars Box of Delights, 27 Dec 2005
By S. Jones (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
XTC are Britain's great hidden musical treasure.
This collection of their two most recent albums is a real bargain. Volume 1, their 'orchoustic' masterpiece, is full of achingly beautiful, touching, romantic and quirky songs. Volume 2, previously released as Wasp Star, includes several bright and sparky guitar based tracks, along with a few where frankly Andy Partridge sounds like he's indulging in some pastiches - tonight Matthew, I'm going to be Paul Simon and then Sting - but even these songs are still worth a listen, or several. (Except perhaps Wounded Horse.) Many others you'll never want to stop playing.
The demo discs might be more useful for completists or for those musicians and songwriters who are interested in the evolution of songs from first mumbled lyrics on cassette to finished composition played by 40 piece orchestra at Abbey Road.
The booklet notes are entertaining and informative too, as each writer explains how the songs were inspired.
A fine collection from a wonderful and sadly neglected band.
