I found Martin's music through his connections to various XTC members. A great lyricist and his mastery of 4 track and 8 track recording is amazing. The Greatest Living Englishman album is a classic.
Ah yes - Martin Newell, Half Man Half Biscuit, and... a third thing (all good things come in threes) are the gems of modern British culture. (What's the third thing? The film Penda's Fen? A sentient bowl of cullen skink?) We'll agree to disagree about John Donne. Looking forward to the documentary and new album!

Love the story of early tape recording!
and personally, as an XTC fanatic, I think The Greatest Living Englishman is at least the equal of the contemporary XTC album Nonsuch.
