I was astounded by this: http://www.youtube.com/user/gilliamband

Israeli prog band Gilliam covering a number of *EXCELLENT* Cardiacs songs: RES, Tarred and Feathered, All His Geese are Swans,  Good stuff indeed.

Equally as enjoyable was this cover of The Everso Closely Guarded Line: http://www.youtube.com/user/1szoba2pal

Sing to God reissued would be a dream. I hope Tim recovers and considers it.

You won't find any for under $70-75 USD, and Sing to God goes for around $150.  They are out of print right now, and will be for a while as far as I know, at least until Tim has recovered more.  My best advice is to wait (patiently) for Tim's recovery like the rest of us, and then once he's recovered more we can start hoping for CD reissues.


Thanks for the advice SaltyJon

I share your disgust at iTunes...but I finally held my nose and acquired some albums.  Burned to a CD and then transferred to my media library...and won't load up iTunes for a long, long time hopefully.

Please consider signing up. I know iTunes sucks in a lot of ways but all the royalties go straight to Tim, who needs every penny he can get right now...

Yeah, iTunes is probably your only choice then.

Well, the only digital distributor of Cardiacs albums is iTunes. You could check amazon.co.uk for the physical... not sure that the majority are 'affordable,' but they're all there.

Oh looky look we have the same avatar, how... embarassing?
 
I love this band to bits, especially Guns and Heaven Born and Ever Bright, which is underrated even by their standards. That Guardian article is heartbreaking, I had no idea Tim was in such a bad state.
 
Has anyone heard Knifeworld by the way? It's their guitarist Kavus Torabi's own project who released an album last year it's really good stuff!

On a much sadder note, there's an article about LOTSS in today's Guardian and it goes into more detail about Tim's current condition than previous ones. It doesn't make for happy reading. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/feb/03/cardiacs-tim-smith-stroke-tribute-album


Sigh.

No, that kind of devastating neurological damage does not bode well, alas, especially if he is still in hospital two years later.  Hope for small improvements.  Be thankful for anything.

In principle I like Cardiacs, but the often have a grating wall of noise kinda sound to them that gives me listeners fatigue. I guess I am too old.. Even the most Hard Core RIO/Avant bands usually mellows out a bit between the hard parts, but not Cardiacs...




Guess so. Tongue

I guess I sort of felt the same way the first few times I listened to them, but that shortly left.

Have to give them a go, again :)



Sounds good! Big smile

 BTW, does anyone have the recent Tim Smith tribute album, Leader of the Starry Skies? And what do you think of it?

I really love Cardiacs, my favourite albums are "On Land And In The Sea" and "Sign To God" They influenced   a lot of bands of different styles: Napalm Death (Shayne Embury is a big fan), Wildhearts, Mike Patton, etc.

Tim get well soon!!!
