- XTC - YOU REALLY HAVE TO LOVE THEM
OK...If you don't love XTC you probably will hate this CD. If you do love them this CD is really cool. Home Demos take us through the infancy of a song all the way to maturity. We hear the original idea's that Andy Partridge muttered in to his tape tape recorder as well as studio rehersals. As I said if you love XTC you'll love every minute of this disc.

- Insight in the the evolution of great music
I think the other reviews are being a bit harsh. I would recommend this to any XTC fan and I rate the material on Wasp Star as just as good as anything from the Black Sea/ Settlement period. There are some amazing songs on this album and to see the genesis of great ideas like "I'm the Man Who Murdered Love", "We're All Light" and "Maypole" gives the listener great insight into the world of XTC. I've actually used a couple of the recordings to introduce people to there music, because the high-gloss production of Wasp Star and Apple Venus Vl.1 isn't to everyone's taste. The only drag to this and the original Wasp Star is Colin's songs... His muse seems to have left the shed since 1990... although a lot of people disagree with that. Anyway, if you like process as much as the art, check this album out. - With a little soil, sun and water these grew into Wasp Star
Although I'd definitely recommend most of XTC's back catalog ahead of this collection of demos, Homegrown will be fascinating listening for both fans and musicians. Of particular interest will be the evolution of Andy's I'm The Man Who Murdered Love. The first demo is nothing like the final one at all.
The booklet is both informative and fun to read. A pity that TVT wasn't able to keep the two Japanese only bonus tracks. Bumper Cars and Didn't Hurt A Bit are both minor Xtc classics and deserve a wider audience beyond the Japanese import.
