'Tales From Monographic Oceans': a spontaneous journey through a stretch of sea, cutting across the isthmuses of some discographies (XTC B-sides, alternatives and more 55, 10)
'the B-side is important, even in music...': that is, too easy, with people like this, to go through the official discography at 33 and 1/3. But here we want 'e contrariis' proofs, we don't want easy bèl.
Given that, with these pieces written a bit left-handed and left out or at best placed on the back of singles, 12''s, and various EPs, ANYONE (and I mean ANYONE: think of your favorite pop-rock artist and they fit in there for sure) could have built a career much more than luminous. This is pop...even if intentionally left in the corner.
