Probably one of those seminal albums of the early 80's that set the scene for new-wave and neo-psychedelia. I got this album when it came out before it hit the charts and played it a great deal in my VW split screen van used to go surfing in N. Devon every other week, their follow up album 'Heaven Up' is another great one. Another great album in a similar vain, of the time, is Teardrop Explodes - 'Kilamanjaro'.

In a similar vein to the above but a bit more obscure (and a lot better IMHO [emoji16])...
Virgin Prunes - If I die, I die
1982
One of my favourite albums.
Fun fact - I think they used to be mates with U2 at school in Dublin.

I like Echo and the Bunnymen because they remind me of the Doors. They have a similar 'sound', though the poetry of the lyrics doesn't compare.Quote:

Lyrics and the poetry is a tricky thing, it varies so much, sometimes a song is just sentences making observations, other times it has depth and meaning in the words used like poetry.Quote:

This re-issue/re-master is very good IMO, nice and open sound, great dynamics, and quiet pressing, they must have taken time with it.
