Colin Moulding Interview - 27th January 2018 - FromeFM - Different Sounds with Ian Leak

[@nmfeb70]

What a great interview. Colin's contribution towards XTC's music is incalculable. Grass, The Meeting Place, Sacrificial Bonfire, Generals & Majors, King For A Day, Love At First Sight, Ten Feet Tall, My Bird Performs, Making Plans For Nigel... A top songwriter & a great bloke.

Frivolous Tonight! Another Life!

[@davidsanderson5918]

Just off the top of my head....Ball And Chain, Cynical Days, One Of The Millions, Bungalow. Also always liked Blame The Weather, ever since the 12" of Senses came out.

[@bonzodog6872]

lovely bloke Colin

[@silkywellman315]

Colin is my favorite bass player!!!! Sooooo melodic

[@stephenbennett1643]

If there's one band we'd all like to see refom it's XTC! Wouldn't that be something.🤗

[@EnosEverything]

Not much chance sadly as I think I read that Andy and Colin are no longer pals.

[@rickandroll63]

That's not why. Fizzled out after Apple Venus and that was a long time ago.

[@kathrynschauf1784]

I think these guys (XTC members) are in for another try... It's not like they've died! Listen, those who have money to help on this project, and learn about this band!

[@davidsanderson5918]

@@rickandroll63 Hugh Padgham in a recent Zoom interview on here trotted out "sadly no longer speaking"....which I immediately thought 'really' because I just thought Colin had simply lost interest, that's all. But if Hugh says it, well.....

[@keithlewis794]

Colin is a total gentleman, well loved my friend, your music is testimony to your achievements! I salute you.

[@bridgets7794]

What a terrific interview. Lovely getting to know Colin a bit. Thanks, Ian!

[@Skylarking00]

A reunion would be epic.

[@crapple009]

A shame as XTC is one of the few bands from their era where all the ex-members are still living. The Jam, The Damned, The Police, Wire and Ultravox come to mind...

[@mrlowry6359]

That's two, rejoined. Please, let's have ALL XTC MEMBERS BACK TOGETHER. Band reunions are all the rage GO FOR IT AGAIN, XTC...

[@MrHairyNeck]

Great interview. Glad to hear he's doing well in 2018.

[@michaelthomas366]

XTC-- one last album together, please! Bury the hatchet and create some of that beautiful pop music we love so much!

[@sissyjj]

Wonderful musician! Made my day? Made my life....

[@aydnofastro-action1788]

Mind blown. Thanks for all of this! And the Ariel view!

[@tinfoilhatter]

awesome!

[@juanitacarrollyoung2979]

Really quite excited to learn about this EP. XTC's music is something I return to throughout my life. Each time I learn more.

[@stephenanderson8907]

Don't give up colin

[@Martha56100]

Great interview & love the TC&I ep...thank you🙏🏻

[@xtstevie]

Cheers for this.....

[@dixgun]

Have been curious for a while about CM’s stained-glass side of his life . Glad that question was asked . Intriguing answer as well . 😎

[@tinfoilhatter]

the beatles can't get back together, but xtc still can! come on, man, ring andy up! y'know he'll turn up!

[@rickandroll63]

Not being interested is a little different.

[@kevcatnip7589]

@noodlesdoctor andy will feel betrayed ,,,,i would

[@dixgun]

Great one . 👍🏿

[@squareeyedgit]

If I'd have been old enough back then, I would have been one of the 'lads coming up wanting to know the chords to Roads Girdle The Globe'!! Sorry to disappoint, Colin!

[@DanielRodrigues0048]

Nice interview. It interesting to note that Colin puts in the Bass line last while recording. I have never done that before when I have been recording music. Usually my order is Drums / Bass / Keyboards OR Guitar / Vocals / Other.

[@squareeyedgit]

Paul McCartney is another person who would put the bass on last as well, at least from Revolver onwards, I believe.

[@DanielRodrigues0048]

@@squareeyedgit I didn't know that. I suppose each bass player has their own way of doing things which is comfortable for them.

[@duffbaker9554]

With me, it's drums, rhythm guitar/keyboards and then bass. After that, vocals/other instruments/solos/overdubs.

[@jasoncavitt2043]

I want to jam with this man.

[@davidbreen8702]

C'mon.....we need a whole album........pppllleeeaaassseee!

The engine behind XTC

[@krollpeter]

Apple Venus + Wasp Star live with a Symphony Orchestra!

[@dixgun]

Let’s get a Terry interview next ! 😊

[@TheTibmeister]

Wonderful ride though it was the ship has sailed. XTC wont reform however much we’d love them to. Nothing lasts forever

[@hobbygamer6220]

NO ! DONT EVER pass the baton ! hold your place 4ever !

thats ok you don't need that

[@stephenanderson8907]

A great band it's a shame they broke up Andy should get back with them maybe they'll reform

[@vanishing_girl]

it's up to Andy and Colin, and unfortunately they've both publicly shut it down at literally every opportunity. Neither one of them has even said anything "you never know," it's always "there's no chance."

[@hellzapoppinx]

Wow....erm....WQW........ERM...WOW............!

[@mustafa1name]

According to Andy recently, he doesn't have Colin's phone number and he doesn't think Colin wants to write music any more. Meanwhile Terry is beating out the old hits as good as ever with EXTC. No reason they can't be eXsTatiC again, other than those unamused muses blues.
