25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION, digitally remastered with 8 extra bonustracks, new linernotes and unseen photos. This release saw the entry of the Bunnymen in the mainstream proper. After charting with the Back of Love and The Cutter, from the excellently album Porcupine, the Bunnymen come over with strings and acoustics - but they retain their edge and in many ways come across as even more manic. The darkly romantic Killing Moon opens - featuring one of MCullochs best ever vocals and that maddening 12 string guitar riff. The entire album has such an ethereal, other-worldly quality to it, which is what this band always did best. Ocean Rain resonates on a deeper level than most bands ever dream of attempting, let alone accomplishing. The album has a much cleaner feel emotionally than a lot of the bands of the 90s. Very deep and introspective, this is songwriting at it's best.
