SING!

This, combined with STG part 2, is my most favourite record of all time.

Sounds like nothing else, ever.

I'd recommend a taster track, but they're all incredible.

Try and locate the lyrics online if you can, it'll enhance the experience quite considerably.

Cardiacs

The magnificent double-album "Sing To God: Parts I and II" (1996) is arguably the highpoint of Cardiacs' recorded work to date. It is an album so rich in ideas, so multi-facetted, so dense and ultimately so moving, that you can immerse yourself in it for weeks, months on end - quite possibly without being able to listen to anything else. The first three songs encapsulate some key features of the album: the odd and very beautiful opening track "Eden On The Air" captures Cardiacs' gentler side, an important but sometimes overlooked aspect of the band (also clearly expressed in side projects such The Sea Nymphs) and of which many mesmerising examples are to be found throughout this album. "Eat It Up Worms Hero" then assaults the ears with a ferocity and strangeness that may take some time to get to grips with but which richly rewards you on repeated listens, revealing a fascinating series of layers which are stripped away progressively. "Dog-Like Sparky" then shows the band's phenomenal gift for rousing melody and unique quirkiness, utterly endearing and heartwarming. The album progresses through such a wealth of ideas, textures, time signatures and powerful atmospheres, varied but always very much of a kind, that it cannot be summed up easily. The two parts of the album form a breathtaking whole, and should (I think) be explored together. For someone new to Cardiacs, there is no finer starting point.

Who is Him?

where's part two!?

The gift that keeps giving, that's Sing to God, possibly the most ambitious album released by the underrated genius that is Cardiacs (i don't bandy around the term genius willy nilly). From pure pop to brain shreddingly backwards rock & all points in between, an album that sounds like no one else.

If i had to recommend a track, then try out Fiery Gun Hand, with the best guitar solo ever done ever by anyone ever!

Looking for something fresh, tasty & different? buy this album!

Biography

Formed: 1978

Genre: Pop

Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s

Combining the D.I.Y.-attitude of the early punk years with an affection for progressive rock acts such as Gong and Gentle Giant, the U.K. act the Cardiacs formed in late 1977 by Tim Smith, who quickly enlisted brother Jim Smith to join the fledgling outfit. The alleged fact that Jim couldn't play an instrument mattered little and the band took the moniker Cardiac Arrest. Their first actual release was a single, "A Bus for a Bus on the Bus," in 1979, which they followed with a full-length cassette...
