Echo & The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain (1984)

Country: United Kingdom
Genre: New Wave
Label Number: 240 388-2

AllMusic Review by Jason Ankeny
Channeling the lessons of the experimental Porcupine into more conventional and simple structural parameters, Ocean Rain emerges as Echo & the Bunnymen's most beautiful and memorable effort. Ornamenting Ian McCulloch's most consistently strong collection of songs to date with subdued guitar textures, sweeping string arrangements, and hauntingly evocative production, the album is dramatic and majestic; "The Killing Moon," Ocean Rain's emotional centerpiece, remains the group's unrivalled pinnacle.

    1. There's no such album with that title in their catalog. Unless you're talking about the compilation "Ballyhoo" If that's the case, no. I don't buy or own many compilation albums in general.
