₴₡₳₮₸€₹ I have fond memories of looting Christmas decor from suburban lawns while this song contributed the ambience. Favorite track: The Obvious Identity.

mercury really really good songs - seconding the advice to check out the full audio of the obvious identity and toy world. if only over + over + over + over got a remaster as well... Favorite track: As Cold As Can Be In An English Sea.

Steven Smith cardiacs were writing mad little tunes from the get go. check out this early material, it's killer!

BeagleBay With the first 2 album masters being lost, this compilation album is essential listening. However, I would suggest all fans to buy this album, but also swipe the audio from The Obvious Identity and Toy World full albums from youtube. The music is excellent and the albums have a flow that this compilation can't capture. The youtube sound quality isn't too terrible either, but it is nice to have these superior sounding tracks. Favorite track: Icky Qualms.

melton With Cardiacs, it's impossible to pick a favorite album you kind of have to pick your four or so and start trying to inadequately rank them... nope you just can't do it. All this stuff is amazing, seriously Favorite track: As Cold As Can Be In An English Sea.

Only just learned of ‘Singin’ to God’ and have been listening to it on repeat - alternating with Tim Smith’s original - every day for the last week. What a beautiful tribute to him and so brilliantly executed. Hats off to all involved in this breathtaking recreation. A real achievement. thsmusic
