Re: XTC

I was referring more to his input, which had sadly been sidelined during the album. Andy got in orchestras but I still prefer Dave’s input. My two best examples are on Skylarking. 1000 Umbrellas being a beautiful arrangement. And a couple of tracks before that, his greatest guitar solo, in That’s Re...

Re: XTC

Discussed recently but buried in another thread. Any love for XTC in the house? Fave songs/albums? Jim Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk I'm a huge fan. My favourite band, apart from the MiB. Got into them around Black Sea. Loved all their albums until Dave Gregory left. Felt Apple Venus and Was...

Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.

It’s hardly Gilmour Waters

Does this new HC band concept have a keyboard player?

Your style of posting doesn’t lend itself to debates Stan

I sent you a PM about this Jim, but doesn’t look like it got through.

Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.

No point Stan.
You are not one for debates.

Shame, you made plenty of useful contributions in the last 20 years but it’s a waste of time and energy nowadays.

Although kudos to the band for a fans forum where a mod trolls.

Somehow that also seems like the essence of Mk 1.

Re: This current Stranglers is still The Stranglers.

Anyone who describes themselves as the “original voice and songwriter of The Stranglers” really doesn’t grab the essence of what Mk 1 was about. That statement is on his tour posters to promote his tour. It's not a vehicle for discussing what the "essence" of MKI is. Jim Sent from my Pixe...
