What am I missing? This is awful. Sounds like early 60's pop only worse.

I think it was Todd Rundgren's idea to blend alot of the songs on this album together and he met much resistance from the band. Still all these years later this album is truly a work of art the way it was assembled.

Wow Bill, thanks for the double shot of XTC! Summer's Caldron followed by Grass

Does anybody know the "Winnetue"-Theme from those cult like movies in the 60s? It was a German movie series (not really good and far from being impressive western movies, but anyway).

BUT - the theme song really reminds me of XTCs Grass, only much slower, but it really has the same soundscape created by the string arrangements and the conga rhythm section.

Just listen into it and hear what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzeydENt0yQ

Wow, takes me right back to high school and college. XTC was a staple of my playlist back then. Thanks Bill.

Everyone's animated avatars are dancing in perfect sync with this song. {#Dancingbanana}

wow - a 1st for me...I have NEVER seen Bill play two in a row by the same artist!

He does a Robert Palmer three-fer every once in a while, because the songs just flow into each other, much like Summer's Cauldron and Grass do...however, I heard a jump. I should get this album on vinyl, rip it, and upload the two songs. Because really, there is no pause in between them. They were meant to be played together, forever and ever, ramen.
