Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

:-) I guess I'll see. Some years the only album I know or have is embarrassingly poor. My favourite song off the beautiful despairing 13 is probably coffee and tv

In the last couple of weeks, I've got myself the following:

1987: Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun
1988: Pixies - Rosa Surfer

I keep falling asleep when I play the Dead Can Dance album, so it needs a caffeinated listen before I can really pass judgement on it. I enjoyed the Pixies album, but I'm still at a loss as to how I managed to get through my student years ('88 to '92) without being aware of them at all.

Neither of these too albums have had a huge amount of my time however, as I've found myself stuck in 1986 and playing XTC's Skylarking over and over again. My daughter was absentmindedly playing 'Dear God' on her guitar in the other day, so I've obviously infected her head with it too!

Skylarking - as a result of this thread - was a wonderful discovery for me. It's one of my favourite albums of all time now. Have you got the version of the album where Dear God and Dying blend into each other? (Dear God was originally removed from the track listing for fear of offending US Bible Belt types, supposedly.)

That's the one I've got McG - I'm also considering it a great discovery.

XTC never scaled such heights as Skylarking again.(in fact it's probably the best thing in their discography)
