The `other' Andy Partridge dub-album is called, I believe,
`Take Away'.  (I will check this tonight at home ...)
It is similar to `Go +', being dub remixes of material
found on `Drums & Wires' (rather than `Go 2').
Partridges `dub remixes' bear only the slightest of
resemblances to the original cuts -- it's really rather
tricky to try & identify where a re-processed song
really comes from.  Great stuff, though, and even more
off-the-wall than XTC is to begin with (hard to believe!).

I do not believe that XTC is breaking up, rumours to the
contrary.  Andy Partridge did have a `nervous breakdown'
due to severe stage fright, but he and the others have
resigned themselves to studio recordmanship.  The only
casualty appears to be their drummer (Chambers?) who
said `f*ck this sh*t, man', married his girlfriend and
moved to Australia.  All this from a recent Trouser Press.

"You can't own too many records."
