Though most tribute albums aren't worth the cost of the packaging,
A Testimonial Dinner
deserves a listen simply because the artists involved appear to have been selected more for their love of
XTC
than for their
MTV
appeal.
Spacehog
's take on
"Senses Working Overtime"
captures the perky but warped
pop
sensibilities perfectly, while
Sarah McLachlan
's haunting
acoustic
version of
"Dear God"
is, even by
Andy Patridge
's admission, arguably better than the original.
Ruben Blades
' invigorating
Latin
spin on
"The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul"
is simply magical, and
They Might Be Giants
lend their quirky style to a cover of
"25 O'Clock,"
a song originally recorded by
's side-project
the Dukes of Stratosphear
. To top it all off, even
shows up (disguised as
Terry & the Lovemen
) to contribute
"The Good Things,"
a lilting,
psychedelic
track reminiscent of the Summer of Love's groovy, harmony-laden
. With nary a dud to be found,
is the rare tribute album that does its subjects proud. ~ Bret Love
