'Tales From Monographic Oceans': a freewheeling journey through a stretch of sea, cutting across the isthmuses of some discographies (XTC B-sides, alternatives and more 55, 15)
'the B-side is important, even in music...': in other words, it’s too easy, with people like that, to go through the official discography at 33 and 1/3. But here we demand evidence 'e contrariis', we don’t want the easy bèl.
Since, with these tracks written a bit offbeat and left out or at best relegated to the back of singles, 12'' and various EPs, ANYONE (and I mean ANYONE: think of your favorite pop-rock artist and they fit in here, for sure) could have built a career far more than just brilliant. This is pop... even if deliberately left in the corner.
