The Soft Priest
Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians - Element Of Light [MOIST 3 UK 1986 24-Bit FLAC] The lost hero of eighties British psychedelia (move over Julian Cope), Hitchcock comfortably positions himself between Barrett and Dylan, then adds a dash of Lennon and gets about to burning bongos on his best received album from the mid-eighties. I bought Element Of Light off the back of strong NME reviews and a support slot I saw him and his Egyptians perform at the ICA in London. I spend the months following trying to decipher his obtuse lyrical meanderings ...something which I still ponder thirty or so years on. If you are enjoying this album for the first time today, I can guarantee you'll be doing the very same...
