About

XTC's seventh album, First album without Terry Chambers on drum. Originally released in 1984, Andy Partridge describes this album as "A loco derailing itself in the rusty goods yard. An altogether more industrial affair. Slashing electric guitar, sheets of steel bass and diesel oil drum. An iron opera, steam powered and brick encased.” .
