Title: XTC incognito
Review: While this is a fantastic cd, it's similarity to XTC is uncanny. Knowing that Andy Partridge and the rest of the XTC crew have worked under various pseudonyms, my first reaction upon hearing Bang was that it must be one of them. Everything from their general quirky song-writing style to their well crafted vocal flourishes and harmonies is imitated. That aside, it's still a masterwork of intelligent pop with some truly creative guitar work. You might also do well to check out The Starlight Mints if you like this album.
