Notes: I
was never a big XTC fan until I heard this album. "Living
Through Another Cuba" is a great example of 80's pop. Mr.
Partridge pens some very good material and the rest of the lads
fill their rolls equally well. The cover gets its' impact
from the combination of the illustrated backdrop and the deep sea
diving outfits. Capt. Nemo look out...
