How do you classify a band that has been known to have multiple time signature changes and key modulations in one song, yet can write really catchy pop melodies? England's Cardiacs certainly fit this description, yet they defy any easy one-size-fits-all description. I'm joined by my son Max Bursztynski to talk about Cardiacs' 1996 double album Sing To G-d released some 20 years into their career. The band may not have the level of fame of Blur, Radiohead or Marillion, but all these bands sing their praises, and after listening to this magnum opus, it's easy to understand the love. Did I say "listening"? You don't just listen to this album....you have to absorb it over many plays. It's not easy to take in, but like many great albums, every play brings new rewards. I'm thrilled to have Max come on the show to talk about one of his most favourite bands. As well as focusing on the album, we discuss how Max discovered them, the band's history and musical development, and why it's critically important for potential fans of their music to buy a physical copy of the album from the band's website. We also ask a philosophical question for the ages.... ....what the hell is "Zolo"? Thanks to Max for his ongoing attempts to educate his old man. The show is now part of the Pantheon Podcast network.

However, it’d be even better if you told a friend about the podcast – at a barbecue, over coffee, while hitting a six, on social media….whatever way you choose, consider me grateful.
