Inside UK's biggest ever cash robbery as £32million could STILL be underground

Following around to see a life
That's never in
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though it's never quite at home in the world today
See it to arranging the day
Prepared in its own special way
With added loving care
Though it's not been there since yesterday
Looking so hard for a cause
And it don't care what it is
And never really ever seeing eye to eye
Though it doesn't really mind, perhaps it's why
It never really saw
Never really saw
Saw...
"Is This The Life?"

3. Downup
Par le groupe anglais #Cardiacs qui vient de sortir un album en forme d'hommage à #TimSmith, le leader de ce groupe anglais, mort en 2020. Un groupe génial et parfaitement inclassable, qui a une manière de composer absolument unique et diablement convaincante.
Love casts a glow
Lays tracks upon a raging sea
In fear, he admits he's got a dungeon full
All of his own
"This might genuinely be one of the most beautiful songs Cardiacs has released"
Might the #Cardiacs’ song ‘The Everso Closely Guarded Line’, from their 1989 LP On Land and in the Sea, be a contender for best album closer ever?
Yes.
The song’s last 3 minutes challenge you to say otherwise.

Listening to Cardiacs’ LSD for the n+1th time today, I’m struck with that same sadness I felt when Tim Smith died in 2020: a sadness wrapped in the strange grief of not-knowing-someone but also knowing them & their work intimately, like a familiar floodtide coursing through the last 40 years of my life.
“O Flower Day! How is it you name it?
Yet you it talk to in a loving way
Make it spin flower moon
Your petals floated to the
Earth oh too soon”
— lyric excerpt from “Volob”
I've been looking forward to the new Cardiacs' album LSD even though it carries with it a piquant odour of melancholy for being the first new album completed after Tim Smith's death (can he really be gone 5 years now?). It's only been in gestation for, what, EIGHTEEN years…? The trepidation of playing it was real.
But: it is wonderful, and—as ever and ever—utterly worthy of laudation.
And Tim is on it, all of Tim.
And Time is in it, all of Time.
