Colin Mouling is the bassist and second, less prolific songwriter of XTC. He typically will have 2-4 songs per album, although he's had many singles as well. He wrote some of their bigger hits as well, including "Making Plans For Nigel" and "Generals And Majors". He typically doesn't have his fingers in as many pies as Andy Partridge, however, opting to stay out of Andy's Fuzzy Warbles series of demos, which was original intended to be a series of demos from the both of them -- Colin's bowing out resulted them coming out on APEHouse instead of Idea. Not that that particularly matters or anything. During the Skylarking sessions, he briefly quit XTC, leaving Andy Partridge as the only original member, though he soon returned.
