As Magical as an Ocean Rain

Review Score: (10/10)
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.
