Fanfare In the Garden

Essential Logic, fronted by former X-Ray Specs member Lora Logic, blend jazz, punk, beat poetry, and squalling. They're Captain Beefheart meets the Raincoats, but they're also as sweet as ABBA or the Seekers. This contains previously unreleased tracks, songs long out of print, the old, and the new, and a scattering of other recordings that highlight Lora's rampantly spiritual, smooth, funny, and occasionally shocking musical personality.
