How do you think that affected the way it turned out? And I think thereвЂ™s some good strong songs on it and itвЂ™s a good blasting, electric guitar, pop record.Д«y the time you made this album, the only OG members were you and Colin Moulding. That maybe soured it a little bit he left before we finished the album up. But that was probably more into personal struggles with Dave. I had a bit of a downer on it when we first put it out.

Go 2 and Wasp Star are the two most unloved of the children. It was the one that people generally donвЂ™t regard so much. I know people generally donвЂ™t regard it as the best XTC album, but itвЂ™s my favorite. Rolling Stone spoke with Partridge recently about the record, the end of XTC and why school is such a drag. From there, itвЂ™s a tizzy only interrupted briefly by fellow lead writer/singer Colin MouldingвЂ™s more subdued cuts, which let us take a break from our dervishes: вЂњIn Another Life,вЂќ вЂњBoarded UpвЂќ and вЂњStanding in for Joe.вЂќ Partridge adds to the morass with the delightfully slow slump of вЂњWounded Horse,вЂќ before frenzying once more into the almost frantic love song вЂњYou and the Clouds Will Still Be Beautiful,вЂќ closing out with вЂњThe Wheel and the Maypole,вЂќ a mythical, medieval romp that unravels to reveal its sobering center: that everything ends, everything falls apart - and the human race is no different.вЂќWas I so naive?/Of course it all unweaves,вЂќ Partridge muses.
