Optimism's Flames

Andy Partridge says... Wes Long's most beautiful and baroque vision brings you just about everything XTC. A complex and astonishing site.

Dave Gregory says... Gadzooks! Splendid work, dear chap. You've really done a number on this one, congratulations on a bang-up job. I think the faithful are gong to go a bundle on it, so do keep up the good work, and thanks for getting it all together. I shall return often!

Colin Moulding says... I love your site. It takes forever to download, doesn't it? It's quite a beast.
For Colin, and anyone else unable to tame the beast... some more easily accessible pages.
