Drums And Wires with XTC

a perfect capture of the 1979 glimpse of new wave

though I feel XTC could have cut some numbers from this record. Each track is extremely creative, but together they becomes too much information if you listen through whole album. Especially since this band makes no ballad melodies to land upon for a while... the helicopter spins and spins in every kind of rhytm.

similar songmakers : Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, The Clash, The Stranglers, Wire




most Amusing song: HELICOPTER

most Beautiful song: TEN FEET TALL

most Sexy song: WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME (I have difficulty concentrating)

most Smart song: SCISSOR MAN

most Strange song: OUTSIDE WORLD

most growing Strong song: ROADS GIRDLE THE GLOBE



Overall Album

3 compositions

5 instrumentations

6 playin' feeling /singin' feeling

3 philosophy

2 timeline (order of tracks)

5 concept (titles, cover picture)

7 historical importance

= 31


I now give 1-7 for each cathegory
where 3 is good and total possible 7 X 7 = 49 never exist(?)
