Title: Insight in the the evolution of great music
Review: I think the other reviews are being a bit harsh. I would recommend this to any XTC fan and I rate the material on Wasp Star as just as good as anything from the Black Sea/ Settlement period. There are some amazing songs on this album and to see the genesis of great ideas like "I'm the Man Who Murdered Love", "We're All Light" and "Maypole" gives the listener great insight into the world of XTC. I've actually used a couple of the recordings to introduce people to there music, because the high-gloss production of Wasp Star and Apple Venus Vl.1 isn't to everyone's taste. The only drag to this and the original Wasp Star is Colin's songs... His muse seems to have left the shed since 1990... although a lot of people disagree with that. Anyway, if you like process as much as the art, check this album out.
