Initial pressings of this reissue are packaged in a limited edition cardboard sleeve that replicates the original vinyl LP's artwork and inserts.
Any doubt's about XTC's abilities and directions following their permanent withdrawal from live performance after the release of BLACK SEA were cast aside when this album appeared in 1982. Originally released as a double album (and subsequently formatted onto a single CD), it marked the dawning of their more pastoral phase. However, far from setting aside their rocking grooves, they now came wrapped in a softer blanket, of more intricate arrangements. "Senses Working Overtime" garnered them some airplay in the states, which brought in new fans who were treated to a wonderful range of songs which all featured a judicious mix of electric and acoustic instruments. ENGLISH SETTLEMENT is the band's second homerun in a row.
24-bit remastered edition. This is one of the bands most popular albums which included three classic singles 'Senses Working Overtime', 'Ball and Chain' & 'No Thugs In Our House'.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Recorded at The Manor, Oxfordshire, England.
XTC: Andy Partridge (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboards); Barry Andrews (vocals, keyboards); Colin Moulding (vocals, bass guitar).
XTC: Andy Partridge (vocals, guitars, keyboards, background vocals); Colin Moulding (vocals, bass piano, keyboards, background vocals); Dave Gregory (guitar, synthesizer, background vocals); Terry Chambers (drums, percussion, background vocals).

Q (7/01, p.139) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Colin Moulding had gone totally agrarian with the loamy single 'Senses Working Overtime' and a chalk horse on the cover....XTC were a motherlode of rampant imagination..."
CMJ (1/5/04, p.10) - Ranked #4 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1982".
NME (Magazine) (5/8/99, p.38) - "...a frighteningly ambitious attempt to create a new English music; a polyglot fusion of folk music, psychedelic rock and reggae....homespun, provincial pop theory in practice..."

XTC English Settlement Songs English Settlement Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   Excelente!!!
Este album encuentra a XTC en medio de una voragine de creatividad. Como todo album de XTC sorprende de inmediato con un sonido britanico fantastico, canciones que mezclan a la perfeccion las excelentes letras con una musica que deja en claro que este grupo es uno de los grandes. Escuchen esta joyita, no se arepentiran...BETA.

this album introduced me to the lusty joys of xtc (oh you nasty boy!) back when it first came out in '82!! i've been a fan ever since i first heard the opening chords of "runaways" all the way through to the ending chords of "all of a sudden (it's too late)." a simply AMAZING album! highly recommended, people! GET THIS ONE!!!!

Their best album ever! This has it all- rocking tunes, ballads, pure pop all bundled together in a seemless fashion. Something I almost never say "a perfect album".
