    Damn, another Echo record that I am missing! I have never heard Reverberation but I have the 12" single for Enlighten Me from that record. It's a really great track! Maybe Ian should sing it in concert sometime.

      @@EmbryonicRobot lovely record this but again, seems more like one of Ian’s solo albums. Which is ok, they are like Simple Minds now, essentially a two man show.

    Hi Morten!! Well done and more great stuff added, now Echo and the Bunnymen..... you must be right, they kind of an underrated Uk band that doesn't much exposure here in the VC. Unfortunately down here they only are known with just a few songs.... so let's hope they decide to release new music in the near future. cheers and be well

      @@cristianosorio2517 They did make a bit of impact in the US but I think it mostly came from soundtracks like Pretty In Pink. The non album single Bring on the dancing horses appeared on that soundtrack.

    EatB are fabulous. Finally got Porcupine a few months ago. I obviously knew their radio hits in the early days, but they didn´t quite click for me then. Early 90´s I found a used OG of Ocean Rain(plays VG++ today) and thought I´d give it a chance - I was Blown away by this Fantastic album.
    I need to get back into them and dive deeper.

    After the 80s I thought the Bunnymen had disappeared. Did this album have the same 80s vibe or was it a lot different?

      @@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 After they reformed with 1997's Evergreen, which was very Bunnymen, this one, allthough very nice, sounds almost entirely as a Ian McCulloch solo album. I know the guitarist dislikes this strongly. I guess I mention it sounds more like his Candleland.

      Evergreen is brilliant. Flowers on cd suffered from volume wars to the extent that its sound is distorted, not sure if they corrected it with the vinyl version.
