Martin Newell spent the '80s being compared to Robyn Hitchcock, XTC, and other lesser-known '60s-influenced pop maestros, so it was poetic that XTC's Andy Partridge would produce this 1993 Newell solo album. Not a stretch from Martin's days as The Cleaners from Venus or The Brotherhood of Lizards, the production here is cleaner than on Newell's home recordings, with the songs as melodic and adventurous as ever.
Captured Tracks LP reissue, out February 23rd, 2018, features the original tracklist envisioned by Martin Newell and Andy Partridge.
