| Echo & The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain Band: Echo & The Bunnymen Tracks: - Silver - Nocturnal Me - Crystal Days - Yo Yo Man - Thorn of Crowns - Killing Moon - Seven Seas - My Kingdom - Ocean Rain Ocean Rain - a rare album, beautiful and haunting I am unsure if it can be said that this is the best Echo and the Bunnymen album, with such classic as Crocodiles and Heaven Up Here, but I would put this on my list of top Five albums for the 80s above the rest. The songs are so hook laden you will be singing them for decades. This album weaves a balance between melancholy (Killing Moon, Nocturnal Me) and a wide-eyed hopefulness (Crystal Days, Seven Seas, Silver) that is rare and refreshing. Ocean Rain resonates on a deeper level than most bands ever Dream of attempting, let alone accomplishing. The album has a much cleaner feel emotionally than a lot of the bands of the 90s. For me, it is one of the most beautiful and haunting albums ever written. - st_severin@hotmail.com spiritual mystery man I Love Echo and the Bunnymen. I believe that this is their best album. From the popular 'Killing Moon' to the lullaby of 'Ocean Rain', Ian Mculloch's voice is ethereal and melodic. My other favorites on this album are the intriguing, mystical 'Nocturnal Me', and the pageanistic tale of the 'Yo Yo Man'. If you listen to the lyrics, this album has an otherwordly slant. This is a great cd to listen to at bedtime when the lights are all out. Dream-like and strange,it's a must. As Magical as an Ocean Rain i still remember listening to this with the drummer of a Band i was in back in '85, and being completly hooked...from the cover of the album to the sweeping notes of track #1- silver...man, i was hooked. echo...a Band that just sounded mysterious...music you could just get lost in....it just sort of had a swirling effect on me...and it still does. nocturnal me, track #2, is so wonderfully complex, you'll hit repeat quite a few times. i've been listening to this album for about 17-years, and it sounds just as good now as it did then. still holds that eerie, mysterious, yet glowingly atmospheric sound that is undeniably echo & bunnymen. great lyrics...great music....great rhythm section...great guitar. trust me, this album will Change you.
