XTC - Mummer (1983)
Possibly XTC’s most reviled album but for me it’s just full of wonderful moments. This is post Andy Partridge’s melt down and led to his refusal to ever tour again.

comments“Harmless enough!” you might think but by the third song you are fully infected/affected by their luxurious folky pop mantra. Possibly the most laid back bunch of Scots on the planet, they just continue to make wonderful records.
commentsAs a young person in their 18th year, I can still remember walking into my local record shop and hearing Bowie’s astonishing “Low”.
commentsFucking hell, what a mixed up old time this was! In the midst of a punk maelstorm, this proggy, hippy, trippy masterpeice comes out of nowhere and completely changes everything.
commentsYou find a better debut and I’ll eat Kettley’s pajamas. I’m with Richard on this one! A proper, bona fide rock classic.
