XTC's 1986 album Skylarking, under the production of Todd Rundgren, is a remarkable example of chamber-pop that traverses a single day through its evocative tracks. The recording process was marked by friction, with Rundgren's dominant style clashing with Andy Partridge's precise vision. Nonetheless, Rundgren's choice to structure the album to reflect the progression of a dayifrom the morning's 'Summer's Cauldron' to the evening's 'Dying' and 'Sacrificial Bonfire'iprovided a unifying narrative arc. With amazing material like 'Dear God', this made for a winning combination in laying out the album as a whole. Songs like 'Grass' and 'The Meeting Place' highlight the band's flair for pastoral storytelling, while "Earn Enough for Us" poignantly explores themes of love and financial struggle. Despite the behind-the-scenes turmoil, the album's lush arrangements and insightful lyrics present a whimsical, profound perspective on the natural world, establishing Skylarking as a standout work in XTC's catalog. Now, reissued by Steven Wilson, this version is perhaps the most ideal one to have.
