'Tales From Monographic Oceans': an improvised journey through a stretch of sea, cutting across the isthmuses of some discographies (XTC B-sides, alternatives and more 55, 6)
'the B-side is important, even in music...': that is, it's too easy, with people like this, to glide through the official discography at 33 and 1/3. But here we want proofs 'e contrariis', we don't want easy beauties.
Because, with these pieces written a bit left-handed and left out or at best placed on the back of singles, 12'' and various EPs, ANYONE (and I mean ANYONE: think of your favorite pop-rock author and they surely fit in here) could have built a career much brighter than bright. This is pop...even if intentionally left in the corner.
