The Echo and the Bunnymen re-issues: they are the shit.

I've got all of 'em except for "Ocean Rain" now, and I don't regret buying a single one. They sound great and the extras are AWESOME. Rhino Records isn't doing a whole lot wrong.

[HEyHEY]

1. They're no Celebrate the Nun, that's for sure

[asthmaticeog]

2. I never got into them.

They looked like Kajagoogoo only with Limahl replaced by his own mom.

4. She's a Secretary

meh.. Red Flag was better :P

[sundog]

3. Bedbugs & Ballyhoo I say!

:7

5. Bring on the Dancing Horses...

Bring on the Dancing Horses!!!

Bring on the dancing horses
Headless and all alone
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you`ve heard
First I`m gonna make it
Then I`m gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I`m breaking
Your brittle heart

6. The only reissue I bought was Porcupines.....

Since that is the only one I didn't already have on CD.

That was a completely underrated band. They never got as much press as The Cure/Smiths/Depeche Mode did.

7. "Procupine" is the one I'm listening to right now.

I skipped "Ocean Rain" because I already had it on CD, too, but at only $12 each, and with such awesome extras, I'm probably gonna trade in my old one for a few bucks toward the new one.

9. Ocean Rain is easily my favorite....

Just such a lush, majestic album. I really should buy the reissue on that.

[asthmaticeog]

10. Yeah,

I probably should have bought "Ocean Rain" before that so-so self-titled one they broke up after releasing.

8. Based on Soundtracks, the Can remasters are tops

Mother Sky sounds about 6 billion times better than it did on the original CD issue--I'll wait until Future Days is reissued on the 28th of June before I buy all of them.

11. Is Ege Bamyasi out yet?

I'll bet that'd sound great remastered.

[jpgray]

12. Yes

They did the first four already--it's amazing what they did with just a two-track. It was maddening to have Spoon or something in a mix CD and have to crank the volume to hear it properly. Well, no more!
