Okay here is my 2Y plain opinion..
for a newbie get the latest Bunnymen CD -it is called 'Flowers'...
in fact everyone get it because it is pretty damn good. In fact I
believe the whole damn reason AENT was delayed for frickin 10 months was
cause the Bunnymen got dropped by London/Sire and were picked up by CV..
sound familiar? anyway (I digress) .. the Bunnymen used to be a solid
brickhouse type group when Les Pattinson (bass) and Pete de Freitas
(drums) were around. Both are now gone Pete died accidentally around 89
or 90..btw Pete was an incredible drummer, listen to 'Back of Love' or
'All my Colors'(Zimbo) he simply was the best and they cannot reproduce
those songs again, PERIOD! (major Toms :-).. anyway a double
digression.. the new CD Flowers, it really good and  Ian mac and Will
Sargeants have found a good sound together that reminds me of the
Eltrafixtion period (1994) with some better lyrics and melodies.. I
don't blame CV for picking this up at the time, stupid Sire dropped Echo
at the wrong time and Ians is not gonna let them forget it.
a ranting KINGBIRD! err ^jax
