Our Take

Ah, XTC's "Skylarking" - a true gem from the depths of the 80s. Now, reimagined in glorious Dolby Atmos? Count me in, darling.

As the opening track "Summer's Cauldron" envelopes you in a swirl of dreamy guitars and lush harmonies, you can't help but feel like you're floating on a cloud of pure nostalgia. The production here is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line perfectly placed in the mix.

But let's talk about "Grass" - a quirky little number that never fails to put a smile on my face. The playful lyrics and bouncy melody make it impossible not to bop along. And in Dolby Atmos? It's like being transported to a whimsical carnival where anything goes.

Of course, I can't forget to mention the heartbreaking beauty of tracks like "Sacrificial Bonfire" and "Dear God." The emotional depth in these songs is truly palpable, and the spatial audio only serves to enhance the raw intensity of the lyrics.

Overall, XTC's "Skylarking" in Dolby Atmos is a must-listen for any music lover looking to experience a classic album in a whole new light. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let the soundscape of this iconic record wash over you. Trust me, you won't regret it.

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.
