As you can see, I've got as lot on my mind this week. XTC is what I'm going to be The next move is yours. really reviewing, but I couldn't leave everybody else to just a sentence or two under "Also Recommended." So here goes ... I doubt most of you have ever heard of XTC. They're one of those bands who, try as they might, just can't quite break the U.S. In Britain, where XTC are from, their eight albums have helped build up a steady following, despite lead singer Andy Partridge's decision two years ago to call off touring because of his asthma. (And no, he's not one of the "Partridge Family.") But XTC's music remains as lively as ever, and in a desperate at­ tempt to get more people to listen to it, I'm going to tell you why I like it. XTC's new album is called The Big Express, and Geffen Records will sell it to you for $8.98, but you can get it cheaper than that at most record stores. "Big Express" sounds like "Big Country," and sure enough, this album sounds a little like Big Country. But it also sounds like Madness; and although XTC's lyrics are more meaningful (and far more poetic) than either Big Coun­ try's or Madness', their music is so upbeat and cheerful that it's MAKE YOUR MOVE hard not to smile.
