I only started listening to this band the other day and really liked their first two albums. Do they continue with this sound or nah?
Michael King
Drums and Wires is the culmination of this era of their sound. Black Sea is the continuation of their D+W work and by English Settlement they start moving away from the jumpy eno sound into more pastoral and psych elements. I’m jealous of you because you’re going to hear some damned good music

I love the roses but they do not compare to XTC or the smiths or the cure. The stone roses actually owe a big chunk of their sound to the Dukes and stratosphear and John Leckie
Charles Bell
If u want more music like their early records check out Ultravox (with John foxx), The Skids, The Tubes, early Roxy Music
Jonathan Baker
yeah, ok, the dukes and xtc are novelty as fuck and not even a proper live act but youre right they owe alot to them im sure
Joshua Long
All the bands mentioned ITT are depressing as shit

I'm still looking into their discography but I love what I'm hearing so far. The Big Express is pretty great

The Dukes catalogue within xtc literally cheered the band up when it wasn’t looking bright for them. The Dukes music is nothing but exciting. Xtc’s Music is also exciting and thrilling in their early days and moving and emotional their later era, see The big express is very underrated and great. Train running low is one of their greatest songs.
Jace Parker
For more early XTC-like, I recommend the japanese new wave bands P-Model and Uchoten

Lucas James
I believe Andy said that Easter was the song he’s most proud of and could compete with the Beatles
I’m glad, you have so much great music to get into. Skylarking is amazing
Great picks. We’re you the one in the other thread I made about XTC?
Fuck yeah. Welcome!
