Digitally remastered compilation which covers the band's Korova years (1980-1987). Bursting out of the post-punk Liverpool scene of the late 1970s, Echo & the Bunnymen shared a neo-psychedelic aesthetic with bands like The Cure, Joy Division, The Fall, The Psychedelic Furs, Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Teardrop Explodes. The band quickly found a devoted following in the U.K., earning raves in the press for their recordings and their powerful live shows. With Ian McCulloch's voice going from a wail to a whisper to a growl, Will Sergeant's guitars giving the tunes a mysterious eastern vibe, and Les Pattinson's bass and Pete DeFreitas' drums creating some of the most solid and driving rock rhythm work of their time, Echo & The Bunnymen wrote some of the most passionate and atmospheric pop songs of the '80s and '90s. .
