I loved XTC, but I never (for one reason or another) ever bought anything by them, I should correct that...

funny you posted them because I hears Senses Working Overtime on the radio today, first time if heard it in years, loved hearing it again.

5th album
#51 UK, #145 US
the band just never clicked here
not that the UK was much better
only 1 top 10 album on both shores
I see the cd version of this has 6 more tracks than the vinyl
one of those happens to be my fav

12th album
#28 UK, #75 AUS, #97 US
they may have lost me on this one
only great track for me is below
the album got a Grammy nomination for Best Alt Album
not really a bad album, just not up to previous high bar

I think this qualifies as "alternative":

Szymon - Tigersapp

Tragic story behind this album. the story is here: http://www.yenmag.net/szymon-tigersapp/

The music, however, is not sad or depressing at all, it is very light and uplifting. Here's the opening track:

It's a person, not a band... and I distinctly recall your posting about the album when it made its brief appearance on the ARIA charts.

I read the story you linked. Very sad. :frown: He had a whole life ahead of him to live as well. Depression sucks.

Btw, this is a nice, soothing track.
