[kj] Echo and the Bunnymen

[The Stranger]

The Bunnymen should be sainted and knighted by the god of music for their services, if you ask me.  I met the guitarist a while back and I asked him what he thought of Killing Joke and and his eyes lit up and he said "yeahhh I really liked their first four or five albums!  I used to listen to them a lot."  
 
Tin, I would recommend the same for the Bunnymen.  The first 4 albums are pure dark magic.  If you really want to dig, I say look out for a rare B-side called "Broke my Neck".  It's so dark no light can escape it's gravity.  It starts off with a revolving bass line that sounds like a cello caught in a medieval torture device in reverse.  And then the guitar creeps in like a filthy little secret.....  Magic!   I DJ occasionly and when it gets really late (and I get really drunk) sometimes I throw this treasure onto the turntables and then stand back and watch the commoners squirm and shift.  I gotta stop doin' that....
