Your joy that I watched when repeating the last 45 seconds over and over . . . and over again . . . it truly WORTHY OF LAUDATION sir!
It was probably last February or March when I heard Cardiacs for the first time, and I just really didn't get them at first. Loosefish Scapegrace is the song that changed that. I remember being in awe at how many different ideas could be smooshed together in one track, and not just sound good, but also be super catchy and memorable. This was the start of an obsession for me!
Also thanks for complimenting my username lol. I like deer and I used to be into Wicca stuff (not anymore).
Yes, it was a saxophone you were hearing. That's Sarah, she was a core member of the original six-piece lineup and was also a prominent member of The Sea Nymphs, which is like the gentler version of Cardiacs.
Possibly my very favourite Tim tune. He didn't write a bad one though.
RIP Paul Ryder of Happy Mondays who died today at the age of 58. WAY too young. Amazing bass player.
Yeah, i was sad to hear that he’d died, a true legend of the madchester scene
Lots of Tim's lyrics contain snippets of famous literature, poets, and hymns. This song for instance, steals some shakespeare with the "So I dissolve away, to be such stuff as dreams are made" line. And Tarred and Feathered ends with an excerpt of some obscure hymn. Of course, Tim takes things and molds them into his own abstract vision, much like his music.
It's so cool to see someone on UA-cam who really understands how much of a genius Tim was! Here are some personal recommendations to really get a sense of Tim's diversity (often times lots of recommendations for reactions will tend to be skewed towards the more wacky and manic stuff, but I strongly feel that Tim's genius spanned so much more than that)
Fanny - Spratley's Japs
Come Back Clammy Lammy - Guns
Veronica in Ecstacy - Tim Smith's Extra Special OceanLandWorld
Maresnest -- on land and in the sea
No Bright Side - Day is Gone EP
Gina Lollabridgida - The Seaside
Dinner Time - Garage Concerts
Helen and Heaven - Heaven Born and Ever Bright
Faster than snakes with a ball and a chain - One time release on a 'Greatest Hits' album
Lilly Whites Party - The Sea Nymphs
Made all Up - Ditzy Scene
Bellyeye - Sing to God
Ocean Shipwreck - Tim Smith's Extra Special OceanLandWorld
Truth be told, I could go on and on, so I better stop there. Mad hatter he is.
He already did a Faster Than Snakes reaction, same day as this one. I've also put in a formal request for Big Ship and Lilly White's Party (live version) so those should be coming up in a couple weeks!
Great choice of Timmy tunes! You know 'yer stuff.
Fantastic song, your growing love and appreciation of cardiacs is truly great to see, keep em coming, there’s so much more fun waiting for you!
Genius
A old punk gave me a coppey of big ship! Wow!!the 80s I was poor 12
Anyone else getting Bonzo Dog meets Syd Barrett with a sprinkling of Blur?
Cardiacs were actually a big inspiration for Blur, so I can see why you'd say that. This would've came out about a year before Blur formed.
Love the musical reference to Shepard Tone Tim embeds in this track
You should check out the album "Real Estate / Fake Inverno" by Sterbus.
They're very influenced by Cardiacs and they got Cardiacs' drummer to sit in with them on drums for that album.
Probably a good track to pick would be "Prosopopeye".
Great album! (Double). There are something like 20 musicians involved in that project (including Bob Leith, the last Cardiacs drummer, who flew out to Rome for the sessions - as you mention). Their new album is lovely, too. Let Your Garden Sleep In.
You must listen to Tim Smiths Extra Special OceanLandWorld - Swimming with the snake , you will shiver for hours after the song is finished.
Foy!
Goosegash!
I sometimes think of it as "circus music". Bears riding bicycles. Another way to hear the more "jagged" (stocatto, I suppose) parts is as "classical music". The "classical covers" of his music I've heard on UA-cam all seem to work so well, it's as if the music was written for a string quartet (or whatever such rock group) right from the beginning.
Gibber and Twitch, by Mozart, for instance: ua-cam.com/video/hACkgEVS794/v-deo.html
