	Chalkhills: XTC: Black Sea
		Including the alternative hit "Generals And Majors", it becomes a breakthrough album for the band in America.
		Geffen CD Release 1991 includes three tracks not on original album: the eco-anthem "Smokeless Zone" (written by Moulding), and the plea-for-anger-and-rough-edges "Don't Lose Your Temper" and the breathy "The Somnambulist" (both written by Partridge).
		Some working titles for this album include Tigers in Tuneworld, Quartermasters, Hook, Line and Sinker, Ship of Fools, Work Under Pressure, and Terry and The Lovemen (hence the name of the band that plays on A Testimonial Dinner).

	Sevastopol Photoalbum
		In remote times on the southern tip of the peninsula washed by the warm waters of the Black Sea there were Greek colonies that left on this land magnificent specimens of sublime Hellenic culture.
		On the shores of one of them - the Akhtiarskaya Bay in 1787 Sevastopol arose, founded by the Russian sailors as a naval fortress with hope and firm belief that from that time on Russia's southern frontiers would be protected from the encroachments of the Empire's enemies.
		The history of Sevastopol inseparably connected with that of the Black Sea Fleet was being shaped out and enriched by the feats of the Russian sailors.

	XTC: Fyfeopedia Music Reviews
		For their fourth album Black Sea XTC were still a self sufficient band, with the songwriting duo of guitarist Andy Partridge and bassist Colin Moulding augmented by drummer Terry Chambers and guitarist Dave Gregory.
		Their first four albums are recorded with a vaguely punk ethos; energy levels are cranked up, while the group only play what they could recreate on stage as a four piece.
		Black Sea does suffer a little in places; some of the songs in the second half are a little uninteresting, and a couple of extra Moulding tunes would have spiced things up a little.

	Chalkhills: Reviews: XTC: "Black Sea"
		Although they have produced cleverer, more textured and complete-sounding albums, this one record is a perfect snapshot of the throbbing, muscular machine that was Swindon's finest at their peak as a live band.
		This album, released as an LP in 1980, builds on the success of "Drums and Wires" with bouncy, angular pop tunes with a social ("Respectable Street") and political ("Living Through Another Cuba," "Generals And Majors") bent.
		The album kicks off with 'Respectable Street' and at once you realise that the band is a different animal from the one which recorded 'White Music' only two years previously.

	Black Forest/Black Sea - Press
		To aid in the quest, Black Forest/Black Sea are making music for the roof and fire escape, helping you detail your view of the neighbor's tacky kitchen and your own obstructed portion of any already obstructed sky.
		This protracted time/space collusion is a constant on Jeffrey Alexander and Miriam Goldberg's follow-up to last year's eponymous (and now out-of-print) debut as Black Forest/Black Sea, and by patiently dismantling the chamber-folk that made that record such a treat, they've initiated a whirlybird gale that blows compositional constraints wide open.
		Black Forest/Black Sea take their time telling a story, and they avoid definitive conclusions; rather, this album's strengths lie in its fragmented, molasses trajectory and overall expansiveness.

	Decahedron : The Black Sea EP [LOV032] - $8.00 : Lovitt Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		There can be no doubt: the Black Sea's debut three-song CDep is nothing short of a tantalizing tease, although it more than stands on its own.
		In anticipation of a full length album to be released in 2003, the ensemble, featuring members of Frodus and Fugazi, has emerged with a trio of solid tunes that cement the group as being wholly engaging and utterly substantial.
		The Black Sea is a project both brooding and intimate; their songs churn violently without reeling out of control.

	XTC Album Reviews
		Whereas the previous albums all had a handful of highlights (often the singles) that suggested they were capable of greater things, Black Sea is the first of their releases that’s completely devoid of half-assed attempts at uniting classic pop and frenetic quirkiness.
		Earlier albums already contained tracks that were proof of this band’s immense talent, but apparently it took them a few years to become better editors of their own work.
		As it is now, Black Sea’s seamless succession of good-to-great stuff became their first terrific album and suggested the band might eventually become one of the key-bands of the ‘80’s and beyond.

	RECORDINGS; Pop From the Black Sea, Cloaked in Mystery - New York Times
		The most unlikely contender on the 1987 British pop charts was an album of female voices, usually unaccompanied, singing in Bulgarian.
		The album, originally released on the French label Disques Cellier, caught the restless ears of trend-happy British tastemakers, who had never heard anything like its ethereal and pungent harmonies or the quavers and yips and microtonal nuances of the soloists.
		Nonesuch's American release of the first album included an essay on the music, but no translations beyond the song titles; the second adds composers' names and recording dates.

	EvilSponge: Album: Silver Line on a Black Sea by The Potomac Accord
		The album fails to do that for me. It is dark, and there is no end to the darkness.
		There are two other tracks that are noteworthy: one because it reminds me of Godspeed You Black Emperor, and one because it givesme the willies.
		Silver Line on a Black Sea is good, just not AS good as their live performances.

	Ink 19 :: The Black Sea
		Not that this prediction should surprise most, what with the members' past and current band history -- two of them used to be in the unjustly neglected Frodus, while Joe Lally is a founding member of the seminal Fugazi and plays with them to this day.
		Coming across like a slightly heavier, more guitar-oriented Joy Division, The Black Sea offer a unique take on swirling, dark 1980s post-punk, performed with subdued passion and solid craftsmanship.
		A convincing first effort, then, and their upcoming full-length album, due this summer, is highly anticipated.

	Stone Cold Pimpin': XTC - Black Sea
		Black Sea is the last really rockin'-out XTC album, one before the blossoming of English Settlement.
		On one hand that means it's consistent in tone--the Black of the title and the deep sea diver cover really suit the dark music contained within.
		On the other, Andy Partridge's skill at melody hasn't yet developed and is still battling it out with his desire to aggravate with yelps, shouts, and mono-tunes over rock riffs (the interminable "Living Through Another Cuba").

		And what an album it is. Filled with magic and wonder, shadows and fog, waking dreams and star-drenched wishes, this album is an impressive introduction to a band you should be hearing alot more from in the future.

		Black Sea brims with XTC trademarks: engaging guitar hooks, cleverly rendered lyrics, and frenetic, creative melodicism.
		But with this album really has that makes it a whole lot better than the previous albums is a sense of confidence in the vocal deliveries.
		Black Sea is the type of album The Beatles would have made had they been frustrated, nerdy intellectuals rather than suave handsome Liverpudlians: painstakingly crafted, catchy songs stuffed with over-literate lyrics and matched to an awe-inspiring crash-boom-bang rhythm section (courtesy of drummer Terry Chambers and producer Steve Lillywhite).

	Untitled Document
		Composed of former members of Frodus and Fugazi, Decahedron's debut album Disconnection_Imminent is the soundtrack to your repression and eventual liberation.
		You try to get a fix on the real world but the real world is designed specifially to divert you from seeing it for what it is. Before their album was even released they faced opposition: their former name, The Black Sea, was already 'owned'.
		But basically after all this stuff happened we were effected and it was just time to scream and just be pissed off instead of just being passive and arty.

	XTC: 'Go 2', 'Black Sea' and 'English Settlement': Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		These reissues are now trickling into the States, and Go 2, Black Sea, and English Settlement-- their second, fourth and fifth records, respectively-- came at the end of last month.
		But the album's biggest weakness, and the line-up's worst misfit, is Barry Andrews, who plays the hockey rink-style organ.
		It's the only song on the album that's not about something specific: it could be a breakup song, but it turns into a lament from a young man who's just realizing that he has years of sad aggravation ahead of him.

	XTC Forum - Black Sea
		My favorite XTC album there's so much energy and vitality about the record and the group really began to unlock the full potential of Andy and Colin's songwriting.
		It's been nearly half a year since I first heard this album and I still can't pick a fave song from it, every song on it(except for travels in nihilon) is a gem, they are all good in their own way.
		Twenty years of listening to an album and Black Sea stands out because it is one of the few albums that sounds as good to me now as it did then.

	The Black Sea Project / cdRoots (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This could be described as an enchanting music tableau or a brief travelogue of history and mingling cultures.
		The album marks the coming together for the very first time of some of the best soloists of all those countries whose culture and identity are linked to the dark waters of the spacious Sea.
		"The Black Sea Project" is but the most intimate music exchanges amongst the cultures and peoples of the Black Sea — as old as each and every cultural manifestation in the area, as contemporary as the constant exchanges that have taken place among them for centuries.

		The thirteen song album (The Black Sea is an intro and Anoxia is a musical interlude) is ambitious to say the least, and all over the damn map to put it in more fitting terms.
		Double Negative starts with a scathing aural attack for the intro and verse, but slows it down for the chorus, which is a dark and brooding piece of sonic landscape fit for the twisted, spawned from hell director's cut of Aladdin.
		Ashes Of Armies, the song that seems to be the first single, starts the album off on a high octane note that lets up for the funk-metal hybrid of a verse, which in turn leads way to the punk sounding chorus.

	[ Adrian's Album Reviews ] XTC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I've always thought this album was a huge improvement on White Music - Ok, Barry's efforts let the thing down a bit but for 1978 the album as a whole was pretty avant garde and modern sounding - love the dub 12 inch too.
		This album is perhaps the peak of XTC as predominately a guitar led band.
		This album is overproduced, obviously, but I don't think it's QUITE as bad as you say it is. Most of the songs themselves overflow with too much studio trickery, but there are still a lot of good ideas here, and there are some good hooks buried under most of these gaudy concoctions.

	Browse by Artist: BLACK FOREST/BLACK SEA
		Backwards backwoods playing, electronic effects, a shortwave radio and some knob twiddling are all incorporated into their sound, which twists from traditional folk Americana to beatbox improv and back again.
		Both were previously members of acid-folk group The Iditarod, whose music felt decidedly Old Worldly, referencing the likes of Pentangle, Fairport Convention and Trees to create their own take on traditional Anglo forms.
		What sets apart Black Forest/Black Sea from The Iditarod's songbook is their willingness to introduce certain aspects of improvisation and free music to the mix, both as catalyst to generate ideas and as an end to itself.

	The Black Sea - "Set and Setting" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I enjoyed The Black Sea's deep space explorations on their first album, c:>Spacewalk (see AI #22), and expected more of the same on their latest, Set and Setting.
		When the album opens with a sample of Paul Williams as Swan introducing a pop cantata from The Phantom of the Paradise and another voice crying out, "give me a funky-ass bassline!" followed by, well, a funky-ass bassline...you know we're not headed out into deep, dark space this time.
		Scavuzzo and Weintraub mine the last four decades of music, bringing in other musicians on percussion, bass guitar, sax, flute, clarinet, vibes, drums and trumpet layering them in with dub and hip hop rhythms, trippy synths, guitar and lots of funky voice samples for a retro-futuristic, psychedelic west coast sunset groovefest.

		So, while we were making the album I thought, "Well, okay - what are we going to call this?" And I'd written the song "Sgt. Rock" and I had all these ideas about calling it Sergeants Of Sound.
		And then, at the very last second Virgin said, "Well, where are you gonna print XTC Black Sea on it?" And I said, "Well, we're not.
		AP: And they said, "No, we want XTC Black Sea on the front." So, we had the manager saying we couldn't call it Work Under Pressure, the record company now insisting that the cover must have lettering all over it.
