Comment:
This disc was an experiment. I decided to play all my XTC tracks (and I have nearly the entire catalog, including the Dukes of Stratosphear) on shuffle until I had enough to fill a CD, and to burn the disc in the order the tracks played. I'm actually quite pleased with the result! (Not to mention a little startled that not a single Dukes track showed up.) The title is a nod, of sorts, to the fact that Sarah McLachlan did such a terrific cover of "Dear God." [album art full size]small.jpg)
Feedback:
That shuffle monkey has revealed too much. Will we ever believe in random again? Come on, own up you and the shuffle monkey made a deal. You were just itching to use the title and the monkey was just itching. Result, the uncanny nature of unsystematic structures in an audio environment. Ha! Making plans for William more like. The evidence: it's starts with The Statue Of Liberty and ends with rook to track 19. Checkmate.
p.s. Damn fine cover art yet again.

XTC have such a high percentage of good songs that almost any random mix of their catalog would be pretty wonderful. Great cover art -- looks like an official Virgin release.
Good point, Moe. You know, immediately after this, I tried the same experiment with Steely Dan, with quite disappointing results. (I have too many demos and bootlegs. Should have stuck just to the official releases.)
Looks good to me.
it is truly a great cover - I struggle with the idea of some anonymous programmer selecting the order songs will be played for me, however. Each to his own.
