Complicated Game offers a unique insight into the work of one of
Britain's most original and influential songwriters-and an
unprecedentedly revealing and instructive guide to how songs and
records are made. Developed from a series of interviews conducted
over many months, this fascinating book explores in detail some
thirty XTC songs-including well-known singles such as 'Senses
Working Overtime' and the controversial 'Dear God'-from throughout
the group's thirty-year career. It casts new light on the writing
of lyrics, the construction of melodies and arrangements, the
process of recording, and the workings of the?music industry. But
it is also filled with anecdotes about Partridge, his XTC
bandmates, and their adventures around the world, all told with the
songwriter's legendary humour. The book also includes pages from
Partridge's songwriting notebooks and reproductions of his original
artwork designs, as well as a guide to Andy Partridge's Swindon and
a foreword by Steven Wilson, the guitarist, songwriter, and record
producer best known as the founder and leader of Porcupine Tree.
The more I thought about it, the more I realised my career has been
unusual. How did I manage to do everything wrong but still end up
on the front cover of magazines, headlining world tours and
achieving Top 5 albums? How did I attract such obsessive and
fanatical fans, many of whom take everything I do or say very
personally, which is simultaneously flattering but can also be
tremendously frustrating? Even this I somehow cultivated without
somehow meaning to. My accidental career. Limited Edition of One is
unlike any other music book you will ever have read. Part the
long-awaited memoir of Steven Wilson: whose celebrated band
Porcupine Tree began as teenage fiction before unintentionally
evolving into a reality that encompassed Grammy-nominated records
and sold-out shows around the world, before he set out for an even
more successful solo career. Part the story of a twenty-first
century artist who achieved chart-topping mainstream success
without ever becoming part of the mainstream. From Abba to
Stockhausen, via a collection of conversations and thought pieces
on the art of listening, the rules of collaboration, lists of
lists, personal stories, professional adventurism (including food,
film, TV, modern art), old school rock stardom, how to negotiate an
obsessive fanbase and survive on social media, and dream-fever
storytelling.
