ON LAND AND IN THE SEA

I can definitely say there's a holy trinity of Cardiacs albums, all three of them being cornerstones of Avant-Garde in my opinion: A Little Man And A House And The Whole World Window, On Land And In The Sea and Sing To God. This album is my personal favorite of them. I can also say that it's probably their most consistent.

On Land And In The Sea is the third proper Cardiacs album. It takes ALMAAHATWWW's progressiveness and takes it one step further: Sacrificing accessibility in the process. Songs like The Duck Roger And The Horse, The Stench Of Honey and Buds And Spawn (The best from the album) are absolutely amazing and creative that aren't boring in the slightest. There's other like the closer that have a more ambience-focused nature.

My favorite Cardiacs album, although just like most of their content, it's not very accessible. You must still listen it however, it will be a pleasant surprise! Five Stars
