'Tales From Monographic Oceans': a journey at random in a stretch of sea, cutting through the isthmuses of some discographies (XTC B-sides, alternatives and more 55, 12)
'the B-side is important, even in music...': in other words, 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 the easy bèl.
Indeed, with these songs written a bit offbeat and left out or, at most, placed on the back of singles, 12'' and various EPs, ANYONE (and I mean ANYONE: think of your favorite pop-rock artist, and they’re definitely in there too) could have built a career much brighter than this. This is pop...even if deliberately left in the corner.
