Colin Moulding (born Colin Ivor Moulding,
on 17
August 1955,
in Swindon,
Wiltshire,
England)
is a founding member of the new wave/rock/pop group
XTC,
in which he is the bassist and secondary songwriter
and vocalist.
Though overshadowed by leader Andy Partridge, he has
written many of the group's most popular songs, including its first two
UK hit singles, "Making Plans for Nigel" and "Generals and Majors."
Moulding contributed five tracks to the album Skylarking
and four each to Go 2, Drums
and Wires, English
Settlement and Nonsuch.
XTC has been inactive since the release of the 2000 album Wasp Star (Apple
Venus Volume 2), with Moulding declining to
participate in Partridge's Fuzzy Warbles project. In February
2007, Partridge told music website Pitchfork
Media he had lost contact with Moulding, who he said was "not
interested in music anymore, and doesn't want to write." [1].
