A sharp, inventive and rhythmically charged high point in XTC’s early‑’80s catalogue, Black Sea captures the band at full creative momentum. Packed with angular guitars, melodic hooks and socially observant lyricism, this 2019 European 200‑gram remastered reissue brings new depth and punch to one of their most acclaimed new‑wave releases. A dynamic, richly arranged album that bridges post‑punk bite with pop sophistication — essential for collectors of British art‑rock.
