Signed to Virgin in the wake of the punk movement, XTC debuted in 1977 with the herky-jerky EP 3D. The band’s rising career hit a bump in 1982, when Partridge suffered health problems related to stage fright: XTC vowed never to tour again. As a studio-only project, they released a passel of acclaimed records, including the Todd Rundgren-produced Skylarking and their biggest US hit, 1989’s Oranges and Lemons. Looking to The Kinks, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys for inspiration, the bandmembers also dabbled in psychedelia under the pseudonym The Dukes of Stratosphear. A royalty dispute with Virgin led to nearly a decade of silence before XTC signed to TVT Records and released the glorious Apple Venus, Pt. 1 in 1998     XTC I'm the Man Who Murdered Love LiquidAudio Pop These Beatlesque purveyors of pure pop pleasure are guilty as charged.
