XTC Skylarking (Part Two) 1986 Season Cycle 0:00 Earn Enough For Us 3:18 Big Day 6:12 Another Satellite 9:47 The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul 13:57 Sacrificial Bonfire 17:26 In 1989, Skylarking was listed at #48 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest albums of the 1980s & #303 Greatest Album of all time. Skylarking’ was their ninth studio album. It was released October 27, 1986 on Virgin Records. Produced by Todd Rundgren, it is a loose concept album about a nonspecific cycle, such as a day, a year, the seasons, or a life. The title refers to a type of bird (skylark), as well as the Royal Navy term "skylarking", which means "fooling around". It became one of XTC's best-known albums and is generally regarded as their finest work Tim Sommer of Rolling Stone praised the album as "the most inspired and satisfying piece of Beatle-esque pop since ... well, since the Beatles" and drew favourable comparisons to the Beatles (Revolver, Rubber Soul), the Beach Boys (Pet Sounds) & the Kinks (Village Green Preservation Society). Creem's Karen Schlosberg dubbed it a "masterpiece" & a "somewhat baroque and ethereally-textured collection". She lamented that it was unlikely the album would receive much radio play, "since the lads' sound is probably too different to sit well with contemporary radio programming standards. Another irony, since XTC is constantly being compared to one of the most successful groups in pop history, the Beatles." Billboard reviewed: "The overall tone here is less hard-edged than in past work; the band never takes the easy way out, however, employing unique sounds & unexpected melodic twists to wonderful effect." Robert Christgau awarded the record an A− with his only criticism being "when the topics become darker and more cosmic ... they clutter things with sound and whimsy". Also from Rolling Stone, Rob Tannenbaum's 1987 review said the album's craftsmanship was "a remarkable achievement", but decried: "This trading of the acute modernism that marked such classics as 'This Is Pop' and 'Making Plans for Nigel' for domestic solitude dampens the band's punk-roots energy and also limits its emotional spectrum. ... Partridge complains. But then he apologizes to his ex for being "rude" to her. Being rude is the point of breakup songs, & a shot of rudeness is just what XTC could use now." #xtc #1986 #skylarking #fullalbum #part2 #fullalbum
