Who sings the backing vocals on "March", then? It doesn't like Jon. Is it Bic?

Backing vocals...
It was Bic, Jon joined just after the recording was made, he was present at some of the mixing but none of the actual doing...
Even so, he got his big ginger face on the album cover, thanks to Bic being otherwise engaged.

Not to my definite knowledge, as far as I can remember on told me that he had no real input. I could be wrong.

I recently acquired this album, and while there are undoubtedly astounding moments, such as Home of Fadeless Splendour, Goodbye Grace and Bodysbad, for some reason the album isnt clicking like the others did for me.
Does anyone think it needs more listens than i've already allowed it? Or did some of you also have trouble with Heaven Born.....?
Trawling the net, it's almost like it's regarded as a love it or hate it affair.

Just starting to listen to this one - it's definitely dense with words and singing isn't it? So the tunes may take a little longer to sink in.
Tim had a brainstorm of poetry to get out, apparently.
I love the A.B.C. Hymn of Fadeless Splendour! Stirring, ridiculous stuff. Children should be made to sing it every morning in school.

I really like HB&EB, I like the crunchy guitarriness of the whole thing, it adds a nice flavour to Cardiacs' stuff

"Day Is Gone" is a good one.
"Snakes-a-sleeping" has some great Beatle-y background vocals. The rest is shrouded in mystery pretty much!
I like it though, as an album it's definitely of a piece with the rest. Which means brilliant though maybe difficult in parts. The only way Tim Smith could really disappoint me would be if he wrote music trying to sound like somebody else, or to please somebody else. Which he has not done yet, to my certain knowledge!
