River of Orchids – XTC

September 29th, 2010 by admin

Composed by Andy Partridge, it’s a very nice tune.

I still get very emotional whenever I listen to this track. It is brilliant in every way.

Andy should include this as part of his symphony to be performed at the Albert Hall maybe with the LSO and all the great musicians who are XTC fans. I don’t think there would be any shortage of fans singing up for the project 🙂

Just an idea…

@xyaqua I echo your comments about Andy Partridge 100%…A genuine genius….But such talent never leaves you…So I hope he is back recording soon.You cant just stop dreaming up total brilliance because you want to.

Even Beethoven sketched a 10th symphony. So, let’s get at it! More!!

I thought it was “Take your packet of seeds, take yourself out to play” but I like the saffron toupee – very clever! Great song!

@snowwaif

Arrgh, no! Please don’t equate Andy Partridge’s quirky genius with…..S-S-…can’t say it…..S-S-Sting!

Nooooooooo!! 😉

“Take your packet of seeds, take your saffron toupee.” Or so I heard.

Andy Partridge can NEVER be fully appreciated. His music speaks to the memory, which is by definiton not in the here and now. But he will be one of the ten most remembered musicians of all time, by those with a memory.

How can a genious like Andy Partridge just stop writing music??? He may think Apple Venus is as good as he can get it. He probably can’t top this one, but I’m ready for your second best, Andy.

This is one of the most remarkable songs I have ever heard – musically and technically astonishing but also very moving. At the moment, I have to listen to it every day – and hear something new and uplifting in it every time.
