Robyn Hitchcock Queen Elvis Zip

I've been listening to Robyn Hitchcock for a couple of weeks and I'm feeling that this guy is a genius!!! Our beloved Trish sent me years ago the underwater moonlight cd and its amazing. Recently I bought Spooked and Goodnight Oslo and I love them. I have Queen Elvis too (mp3) Now I need your help, please. Thanks in advance.

Id like to know as well,I saw him back during the REM Green tour(or was it fables of the reconstruction?) either way he was much better than the headliners and they weren't bad themselves but I never really delved into his catalog though its been in my to do list for years. Sep 02, 2015, 02:30 Easy answer: I Often Dream of Trains. Seen him recreate it live a couple of times, and its best tracks are things of spectral beauty, wry and autumnal, loaded with lyrics about death, with the occasional fun ad hoc comedy interlude. I guess you could call it his Madcap Laughs to Underwater Moonlight's Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

After that it's a little less obvious, though a couple of his works with Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians are way, way up there: Fegmania and the wonderful live album Gotta Let This Hen Out. Being as the band was basically a stripped down jingle-jangly Soft Boys, the latter contains a few Soft Boys numbers, and in the best tradition of Get Yer Ya Yas Out, it actually pips the studio versions in several cases. Of course, if you really want the true Live Hitchcock Experience, you should edit in snippets of some surreal verbiage from any interview on youtube in between the songs. After that, I guess Eye was one of his biggest U.S.

The Soft Boys' earlier Can Of Bees is worth hearing for a bit of an effete blast. And the rest of his catalogue is full of gems, and occasionally dodgy production.

The darker folky solo albums are usually the way to go to avoid that particular pitfall (I hear his latest was as straight-up folk as he's ever gone). Sep 02, 2015, 20:32 Hmmm. Imho, you can't really go wrong as it's all good. If in doubt, you can always check out any of the numerous free live show recordings, see what floats your boat and track the songs back to their albums of origin: Some personal faves are; I Often Dream of Trains 1984, Fegmania! 1985, Element of Light 1986, Eye 1990, Moss Elixir 1996.

They've mostly been re-issued multiple times and seem to have more bonus tracks added with each outing. A lot of them are available via Ebay for £5 or less, so I'd probably just start with whatever you find cheapest and go from there.
