I only have Lemon & Oranges and The Black Sea, the latter which I find
to be very good.  I also heard however, that NonSuch isn't all that hot...
However, I was wondering if anyone on the net could recommend to me
some other good XTC albums.  Thanks.

Skylarking is my favorite album of theirs, mummer is also very good.

Make sure you get the skylarking version with "Dear God".

Just to be pedantic: P J Harvey is the name of the band. Not to be
confused with Polly Harvey the singer/guitarist/songwriter of the band.

And she comes from a small town near Yeovil, Somerset (that's in the SW
of England for the geographically challenged), why should London get
all the credit.

The album is great though.

Hey Liz! Sorry, but these cuts are on the import _Underwater Moonlight_ too.

they hit the states. I used to dream of Soft Boys CDs... But hey, I can't

Now if we could just get _Two Halves for the Price of One_ or _Live at the

2) Blue Rodeo
3) Kim Mitchell
4) Cowboy Junkies
5) Industrial Artz  (this is more insdustrial as the name suggests).
6) Kon Kan  (BTW, name makes fun of the CANadian CONtent rule the CRTC

7) Leslie Spit Trio
8) Anne Murray (Easy listening)
9) Stompin' Tom Connors (Country)
10) The Tradgically Hip (of course!)
11) F.U.S.E. (techno)
12) Platinum Blonde

... Jeeze, I think I've got a mental block - Can't think of any more |-{

Well, Perfect Circle was recorded with an out of tune upright piano, but
it sounds good anyway.  Shaking Through has some good background piano
music.  But as far as overt use of piano, nothing comes to my immediate

Nightswimming is pretty good.  But I have to give my votes to

Organization: Weird BBS [Amiga] (305)553-3207 S. Miami, FL USA

I experienced the David Byrne concert in Miami Beach on Oct. 2nd.  Incredible! 
This man and his band were so damn tight.  It was perfect.  The ryhthm section
was incredibly cohesive and the horn section was burning.  George Porter, jr.
from The Meters was playing bass.  Byrne was virtuosic.  They played a good
combination of material.  He played almost a dozen Heads tunes including the
standards Psycho Killer, Burning Down the House, Life During Wartime, and the
Al Green cover Take me to the River plus other classics like And She Was and
Road to Nowhere off of Little Creatures.  He also did Blind, Mr. Jones, and
Flowers off of the last Heads album Naked.  I was surprised that he did so many
Heads numbers.  Many of them were done solo as well as some of his stuff with
occasionally a few twists.  For instance, And She Was was only done with guitar
and hornsection.  I may be leaving out a couple Talking Heads songs.  Oh yeah,
he also did Heaven (the last song of the evening).  He also did half of the
tracks from Uh-Oh and around half of Rei Momo.  The Heads songs and nearly all
of his own material were all rearranged.  Imagine Life During Wartime with
horns!  SHIT!!!  The concert would of made an incredible concert tape/CD. 
Hopefully, there might be one.  He did about a dozen songs acoustically usually
with a drum track at the beginning and at the end.   He did at least four
encores mostly encompassing a few songs each including a rocking version of
Sympathy for the Devil.  His first numbers included a Richard Thompson tune and
a Capt. Beefheart and a new unrecorded song called, I believe, Butt Naked.  His
Latin stuff dominated the evening  with the band, I mean, you would rock and
funk out with Burning...House and salsa with Loco De Amor.  The musicians were
flexible and exceptional.  This was a must see concert even if you're not into
the Heads &/or Byrne.  The music was sophisticated with smart and sometimes
hilarious lyrics.  All a rarity especially together.  This was a much less
visually oriented concert than Stop Making Sense but surpasses Sense as a
musical concert.  Let me add that Sense with its theatrical presentation also
emphasized on the music and was excellent in both regards.  I mean, Stop Making
Sense will go down as one of the best tours ever by any band.  Period.  While
this one did not have Byrne spasming out very much or doing his outrageous
dances or wearing a big suit; it had Byrne and his band 10 Car Pileup playing
(they were flaming!) a collection of well written songs and arrangements as
well or better than the best latin band, rock band, funk band...you name it. 
What made the concert even more special was that it was a Hurricane Andrew
benefit.  If you enjoy mature and intelligent music with an infectious beat,
this was the concert to see.  My mouth is still open...
