Over the years, I think “Nonsuch” has become my favorite, some of Andy’s best songwriting: Dear Madame Barnum, Rook, That Wave, Then She Appeared, Wrapped in Grey......I remember originally being let down when it first came out, but over time I recognize its brilliance.
“Nonsuch” is good, my preference for “Skylarking” is that it was the released the same year I was married.
Andy Partridge is a great writer. Did you know that he provided a song for The Monkees 2016 album “Good Times!”? “You Bring the Summer”
