    Also coming soon: Bill Drake's new one and NSRO are recording again
    These three are very good news.

    I do know it doesn't like the Maresnest Concert, but it does dig Magma Epok 2. Fuckin' piece of shit!

    Bloody Hell!

    Is anybody besides Kavus here going to the gig? I'm flying to England in August, so this one is out (unfortunately). Besides the amazing live music, just to be around Cardiacs fanatics and hearing the tunes spun with other fans must be a trip and a half. Pretty bummed I can't be there.

    I also adore this tune. Never knew they played it live either! What a gem!

    I know this is being re-released (and I ordered it), but still - one CD with all of those stray gems would be sweet.

    You have WHAT?

    Mister, your untoward admission of piracy in a public forum can only mean two things:

    Either the all-seeing ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN has granted you special dispensation for your aural licentiousness (unlikely) OR you yourself are a cog in the ceaselessly humming engine of the very organization you have purportedly defrauded. I suspect the latter and any denial from you will only confirm this suspicion.

    Your viperous cunning has been duly noted - we shall not PM you with a request for a copy of the illegitimate recordings you have so nonchalantly touted above. Obviously, you are merely testing our loyalty to the ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN. For this, we applaud you.

    Please report back to your feudal lords that no one here will take your bait, as we all shall remain unfaltering in our devotion to the ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN forevermore. Hail majestic corporate light!

    Kavus is (part of) the gig, haha.

    I, on the other hand, am in the category of going to the gig. (It's in my county - Wiltshire. It's a good county for music. Nobody talks about a 'Wiltshire music scene' however. Maybe because there isn't one. But still great stuff comes out of here).

    Also really looking forward to the new William D Drake album - a really wonderful writer.

    Another gem I've been digging hard lately. The sequence of chords on the chorus is amazing.

    Enjoy the gig man! We're gonna be in Bath in August - is that is Wiltshire?

    The chorus of this song slays me. Joyously cathartic. OceanLandWorld has really grown in my estimation over the last few months, it's a beautiful album.

    Cheers - will do. Really looking forward to it.

    Bath's not in Witshire but close by in Somerset. It's all 'the west country'. It's a nice city to visit, for sure.

    Man. That chorus in Fanny is really something. You don't write that by accident.

    “Don’t You Ail” is another great one from that Pony album. And "Sparrows"? Man, that is one of the most unbelievable tunes! Only 01:53 short, but epic as fook anyway; Tim's bass playing is tasty.

    I've made a mini-study of Cardiacs fans regarding studio albums:

    Most older fans who started listening in the 80s seem to love Heaven Born & Ever Bright but don't really like Guns that much and place STG after Seaside, OLAITS and ALMAHATWWW.

    Most Newer fans who started listening in the 00s seem to love STG and OLAITS but don't really like Heaven Born & Ever Bright that much and place Seaside after ALMAHATWWW and Guns.

    Moi?

    1. HB & EB
    2. The Seaside
    3. OLAITS
    4. ALMAHATWWW
    5. STG
    6. Guns



    ....or something.....

    I am an 'older' fan (since a little man) and i do not fit the description

    1 STG
    2 OLAITS
    3 SFSAI
    4 ALMAHHATWWW
    5 Guns
    6 the Seaside
    7 HB & EB
    8 Archive

    But really they are all fantastic. I consider Spratleys Japs to be the secret extra Cardiacs album. I would place that one on 5, before Guns.

    Interesting.

    I got on board in late 2010/early 2011 and *do* think StG is perhaps their best - maybe 'cause it was my first or just because more Cardiacs = better Cardiacs.

    To me, Guns and HB&EV are about equal (both top-tier).

    Can't rank them, though.

    No, that's because you're a Dutch freak and we love you! Got any Cardiacs tattoos?

    I would be lying if I tried to rank these albums since I have come to love each and every one for different reasons, but I really place "Songs for Ships" up or near the top. Odd that it wasn't a "real" album per se, either. As per my avatar I have also come to adore "Heaven Born" as well. They are all flippin' amazing. I've been spinning disc two to "Sing" a lot lately as well as the 7 compilations I made.

    No, but I have a dog named Sparky. Does that count as well?
