Joy of a Toy is another of the great Soft Machine alumni albums. Light, folky, and at times surreal, psychedelic pop.
The Dukes of Stratosphear was simply XTC recording under a pseudonym, giving them an excuse to record a psychedelic tribute to the 60s. Though I daresay they did too good a job, because tracks like
Mole from the Ministry supercede bands from the time. I love this EP.
