October 1998 :: Music H-M :: Midget (Gail Worley)
... James Bond fantasy, and the boy-loses-girl non-ballad, "Camouflage" are some of the most whimsically original musical arrangements since XTC sang about making plans for Nigel and walking around feeling ten feet tall. "Day of Your Life," with its brass interludes and football-cheer chorus, paints a simple ...

March 1998 :: Music T-Z :: Willie Wisely (Bryan Tilford)
... , fun and appropriate. And the Beatles reference is not done so lightly, nor the comparisons I'm about to make to the smartness and youthful pop of XTC's Andy Partridge (maybe even a really gutsy Martin Newell for those who know), the melodic catchiness of the Bears' era Adrian Belew, or a few Jellyfish ...

March 1998 :: Music F-H :: Fondly (Bryan Tilford)
... , fun, kinky, and I bet it stays crunchy even in milk. Thump-bop pop like if Devo were a garage band, or if Sugarplastic meets a very young XTC (we're practically talking Helium Kidz here). Or more universally, Weezer meets Violent Femmes. And I'm not sure but one of the tunes here may be a version of ...

March 1998 :: Music F-H :: The High Llamas (Jason Plender)
Album Cover The High Llamas Cold and Bouncy V2 The High Llamas live up to the album's name in this potent blend of XTC and Stereolab, a highly engrossing collection of analog sources, beatific harmonies and clever Moog patches. Sounding like the tail end of a swanky cocktail party at the Jetsons', ...

November 1998 :: Music E-H :: Nick Heyward (James Mann)
... guitars, dynamic little drop-outs, and sweeping strings that echo Jeff Lynne with a marvy warm butterscotch sound. Think of a less cynical or sharp XTC, a softer Oasis, and you'll be on the right track. Heyward seems determined to leave his Haircut 100 '80s far behind him (thank heavens!). Instead he ...

Pere Ubu with The Features at the Echo Lounge in Atlanta, GA on September 27, 2002. Concert review by James Mann.
... , and she was a powerhouse. The show was opened enthusiastically by The Features from Tennessee, who sounded live a bit like a noisy cross between XTC and The Kinks. Their stage volume (and a not-so-great sound mix) resulted in us not hearing the banks of vintage analog synths they toted around, but ...

Mean Things Happen in this Land (Ropeadope). Review by Bob Pomeroy.
... ahead enough to keep the jazz snobs happy. Those jazz snobs probably won't notice that the "standards" Heller interprets include "Dear God" from XTC, "Motel Room in My Bed" from punk legend X and mosh pit favorite, "Punk Rock Girl." It's a little strange to hear these songs done as instrumental jazz ...

... the keeper here. Speaking of Big Star, Philadelphia’s Bigger Lovers often cite that band as an influence. But the springy '80s sound of bands like XTC can also be heard on “You, You, You,” from last year’s This Affair Never Happened. Canada’s Sadies offer a pair of tracks from their terrific recent ...
