The Dukes Of Stratosphear "Psonic Psunspot" 1985
"On Psonic Psunspot the Dukes took it a little bit further. They tell stories about Jackie that disappeared, many open questions, no Answers, and everything in colourful pictures of the 60s. (...) ... also a musical discovery even today." (Good Times, February / March 2020)
What can follow a masterpiece like Skylarking? Well, at a distance, the answer would be two albums that were just as good: Oranges & Lemons and Nonsuch. But in the wake of Skylarking, an album that developed very slowly from a commercial point of view and culminated many months after the original release, XTC retreated to their alter egos, not as masked criminal street fighters in the main streets of Swindon, but as psychobilly followers who echoed the spirit of 67 with Psonic Psunspot, with 10 perfectly formed songs, culminating in "Pale and Precious", one of the best songs of the decade. - jpc
