Product Description

Amazon.com's Best of 2000

Who's the Brian Wilson of tomorrow? If this elector's vote counts, it'll be XTC's Andy Partridge, whose studio genius and crafty pop prowess is unparalleled over a career spanning four decades and 13 studio albums (XTC even does an impressive Beach Boys impression as their alter egos, the Dukes of Stratosphear). Wasp Star: Apple Venus, Vol. 2 does the first volume one better, adding XTC's penchant for perplexing pop to their gorgeous pastoral inclinations. --Tod Nelson


From Amazon.com

Sidelined by a decade-long "strike" against their former record label, XTC's Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding nonetheless kept themselves busy writing songs and recording demos during the 1990s. The resulting body of work was divvied up stylistically, with the more pastoral/orchestral pieces consigned to Apple Venus Volume One (and Homespun, its accompanying home-demo collection). The brash electric guitar flourish that launches Wasp Star's "Playground" heralds a collection that leans toward the jangly guitars and jagged rhythms of the band's Black Sea and English Settlement prime. Adorned with ornate harmonic flourishes and their trademark pop sophistication, Wasp Star finds creative mainstay Andy Partridge in a distinctly upbeat, romantically intoxicated state of mind (as witnessed by the virtually irony-free "Stupidly Happy"), yet one in which history-bred suspicions die hard. It's Moulding who seems the most melancholy here, with the gentle romantic prodding of "In Another Life" and in the downright gloomy take on his hometown's future, "Boarded Up." Known for occasional pointed social jabs, XTC's focus has become a bit more philosophical with age, Partridge and Moulding perhaps gleaning the wisdom that the hardest battles are sometimes fought on the home front. But if music this joyous and rewarding is the result, it's been the noblest of struggles. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars 最良質のポップ・ミュージック, 2004/7/18
最初はいまいちだと感じましたが、何回か聴いてるうちに、XTCのアルバムの中で最も好きになりました。聴くごとに味わいを増す楽曲群、とりわけ2,10,12曲目は最高です。

5.0 out of 5 stars 聴きたくなるね。, 2005/4/10
By A Customer
「職人気質」と言われたアンディ・パートリッジが描く、至高の音楽がここにあります。
良い感じに計算された、完成度の高い音なんですよね。
・・・と、こう言ってしまうと堅いイメージの音楽なのかと思われてしまうんですが、内容はとても聴きやすいポップな仕上がりとなっています。
聴いていて、ワクワクしてしまうような音楽なんですよね。

いつまでも愛して頂ける嗜好品のような1枚なのですが、人によっては少し飽きが早くきてしまうかもしれません。
そういうときは構わず違う音楽を聴いてくださいね。
そしてまたXTCが聴きたくなったら、どっぷり浸かる。こういう聞き方が似合う音楽だと思います。

また、お部屋のBGMとしても最適ですよ。
天気の良い日に、久しぶりに大掃除でもしようか。そういうときにかけちゃってください。
是非、色んな方におすすめしたい1枚です。
