    YES

    In my top one bands! I saw them a few times, right up until the end. First time was when my mate dragged my to see them at Glasto in 2001(?). Mind blown. Brilliant live. Lovely. :)

    Not to be showy-offy I was at that one - it's the one where they were supported by Oceansize who took over during the Cardiacs set to play Eat It Up Worms Hero, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR2A7LZEQT4&t=3421s

    (I tried pasting the time-stamped videos in, but they just went to the beginning of the whole concert)

    My brother and his college friends got me into Cardiacs in the late Eighties. Saw them twice, while Sarah was still appearing.

    I talked to the great man Tim plus wife at Glastonbury. He was wandering about at midnight looking for booze. We were wandering about looking for our sanity/tents.

    When I first heard that song - the first time I heard them, and relatively recently - I had that teenage-mind-blown-by-discovering-music feeling again (it had been a couple of decades). 

    It's not the complexity - it's the majesty, the feeling, the perfect set-up for the perfect solo.

    Even crazier. 



    How? Why? No idea. But it's incredible.

    DJ sneaks a Cardiacs track (Dog Like Sparky) into the set at an old peoples' home:

    I only discovered Cardiacs last week.  I’m limiting myself to a few tracks a day as I get accustomed to their strange musical world in order to minimise potential damage to my mental health.

    'Sing To God' is just perfection. It's a masterpiece from start to finish.

    Begin with this one.



    If you can not take this song, quit while you are ahead.
