XTC-This world over

Lovethemseventies Says:

Mar 23, 2010 - Possibly my favourite ever XTC song, such powerful, yet beautiful lyrics. Have recommended this band to so many people and all of them have loved them.

Aug 6, 2010 - Yet another sheer masterpiece from XTC

nancyl2 Says:

Sep 27, 2010 - Yep this American did. ;-) These beings were shared though by a UK Angel. Since then one of my fave's. A band before its time; NOW people are becoming aware of truths + the words can NOW be understood. Sad but I agree these beings should be global. Just a fantastical share from a being from across the 'Pond' as we say. THANKS to each of the band members and vocals too. Love when you can understand the Lyrics. Such a treat. ;-))) I also agree come from the hiding place + bring us music.<3

Nov 27, 2010 - we can but hope, however I think a reformation of XTC is very unlikely to say the least. Or maybe in it's old form - a new XTC with Andy & Holly Partridge, Pino Palladino, Gary Husband and Lyndon Connah could possibly work. Pino and Gary aren't in bands at present (Gary has left Level 42) and Lyndon Connah could be tempted to work with Gary again (was with Grupo Mark King and Level 42 before Mike Lindup rejoined them). So, it's possible that an XTC band could be around for 2011.

Feb 14, 2011 - It was from a BBC programme called 'Saturday Superstore', and was hosted by Keith Chegwin with another portion hosted by Mike Read. Colin and Andy were also featured elsewhere in the show reading trivia questions and reviewing videos with other folks (such as Strawberry Switchblade). XTC also mimed along to "All You Pretty Girls" as well. And it was from October 1984. (Yes I have the VHS somewhere).

ramacure Says:

May 20, 2011 - sin dudas la mejor cancion de XTC, Andy un genio unico

mjedelman Says:

Jul 2, 2011 - What killed XTC's commercial success was Andy's anxiety and stage fright. Back in the 80s, if you didn't tour, you didn't sell music. There was only one band prior to then that got away with staying ion the studio. If they'd toured and promoted their albums they'd all be wealthy men.

GloucesterAdam Says:

Jul 23, 2011 - That would be an interesting combination, and it could work - however it would be a 'watered down' XTC and I'm not sure that Andy or the fans would be over-enthusiastic. For me, if they did reform it would have to be Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding, David Gregory, Barry Andrews and Ian Gregory.

AldofromBordeaux Says:

Sep 25, 2011 - the problem in this case seems to be Colin's desire to avoid anything related with Music since the last 3or 4 years...as Andy Partrige stated ...But to my humble opinion, if XTC should reunite again...that would be with Dave Gregory...

CrimsonCom Says:

Nov 6, 2011 - Bands reuniting for reunion gigs and tours is one of the big profitable trends of the depressed live music scene. The Stone Roses did one good album and just made £12.3m off 3 reunion gigs. XTC released classic after (neglected ) classic and if they got some good promoters behind them, who would begrudge them a pension payday? What about a set of gigs in Swindon? I always pined to see them live.

TheErogenousZone Says:

Nov 19, 2011 - Colin Moulding quit music. Andy still does music on his own. He released an album in 2010.

SirHatchporch Says:

Jan 25, 2012 - Yes, Andy has said that without Colin, there is no XTC. I completely agree with him. Andy and Dave have patched things up in recent years, and while that would be an interesting collaboration, it's not XTC.
