XTC's Andy Partridge has proven that he can write any type of song (from the obscure children's story subject of "Scissorman" to the heart-breaking atheism of "Dear God"), but he's always excelled at the tender love song. "I'd Like That" ranks up there with "Love on a Farmboy's Wage" and "The Mayor of Simpleton" for witty, heartfelt lyrics.
The other tracks are home demos of other songs from the "Apple Venus" CD, mostly of interest to XTC completists only.
A very 'English' song, even though I am Welsh and bloody proud of it. 'I'd Like that' is a wonderful, typical XTC song, which is catchy and sounds happy. A very cross 'Mummer & Nonsuch'. If you love XTC, there is no point saying that you've already bought 'Apple Venus', and if you havn't.... why the hell not!!!
XTC is all you need for music!
BUY IT!!!
P.S. Amazon, you are great, and I'm a married man of 29 and your site is all I require for my needs.
