Our Take

Ah, XTC, the band that brought us anthems like "Senses Working Overtime" and "Dear God". Fossil Fuel - The Xtc Singles 1977-92 is a delightful collection of all their hits, perfect for both die-hard fans and newcomers alike.

From the punk-infused energy of "Science Friction" to the psychedelic vibes of "Senses Working Overtime", this album is a journey through the evolution of XTC's sound. Each track showcases the band's undeniable talent and knack for crafting catchy, thought-provoking tunes.

One of the highlights of this album is the inclusion of lesser-known tracks like "Generals and Majors" and "Towers of London", which showcase the band's versatility and ability to experiment with different genres. These songs may not have been chart-toppers, but they are definitely worth a listen.

And let's not forget about the quirky, tongue-in-cheek lyrics that XTC is known for. Andy Partridge's witty wordplay and social commentary shine through on tracks like "The Mayor of Simpleton" and "Earn Enough for Us", adding an extra layer of depth to the music.

Overall, Fossil Fuel - The Xtc Singles 1977-92 is a must-have for any music lover looking to dive into the world of XTC. So, grab your favourite beverage, sit back, and enjoy the musical journey that is XTC. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

XTC

XTC: The Eccentric Geniuses of Swindon If there's one band that encapsulates the quirky, offbeat charm of British alternative rock, it's XTC. Formed in Swindon in 1972, this group of musical mavericks has been pushing the boundaries of pop music for nearly five decades. Led by the enigmatic frontman Andy Partridge, XTC's music is a heady mix of angular guitars, intricate melodies, and razor-sharp lyrics. Songs like "Senses Working Overtime" and "Making Plans for Nigel" showcase the band's knack for combining infectious hooks with thought-provoking social commentary. But XTC's appeal goes beyond just their music. The band's live performances are legendary for their energy and unpredictability, with Partridge's charismatic stage presence keeping audiences on their toes. And let's not forget their iconic music videos, which often feature surreal visuals and playful nods to pop culture. Despite their critical acclaim and dedicated fanbase, XTC has always remained somewhat under the radar in the mainstream music world. But for those in the know, this band is a true hidden gem, ripe for discovery. So whether you're a die-hard XTC fan or a newcomer to their eclectic sound, one thing's for sure: this band is not to be missed. Take a dive into the weird and wonderful world of XTC – your ears will thank you.
