 Echo and the Bunnymen
Echo and the Bunnymen were perhaps the greatest band of the 1980s.
Early this year, when it was announced that McCulloch and Sargeant were reuniting with Les Pattinson to reform Echo and the Bunnymen, I was thrilled at the prospect of another tour, but haunted by the nagging thought that all reunions suck.
Having spoken with McCulloch about the break-up of the Bunnymen and his reunion with Sargeant in their Electrafixion days, I was thrilled and very curious when, on the eve of Evergreen's release, I had the chance to get Les Pattinson and Will Sargeant's side of the last decade in the history of the Bunnymen.

 Metroactive Music | Echo and the Bunnymen/Radiohead
Echo and the Bunnymen's American counterpart, R.E.M., managed to "break" that same year, but apparently there was no place on America radio for an arty English guitar outfit with a weird name and a lead singer with a penchant for doom and gloom.
Apparently, Echo and the Bunnymen had just been ahead of their time, as is obvious in the sonics and sensibility of current Echo-like bands such as the Verve Pipe and Radiohead.
Ironically, Echo and the Bunnymen's latest, Evergreen (London), is a far more enjoyable, not to mention "alternative" album--as well as one of the few reunion albums of the '90s that stands up to the band's old work.

 Emptybottle.org: Echo and the Bunnymen
A metachamber, not ringing with echoes at all, but with the grand hubbub that is the sounds of the little echo chambers (occasionally with a population of one) singing into the void.
The shape, tone and tenor of that sound define the echo, so in fact you can say that the bloggers who have the majority of the readership and are bringing new ideas or new perceptions to the world directly affect the 'trickle down' information economics.
There can be echo chambers in blogging, and the A-listers can be self-important while they are being smart, and blogs can be antidotal to so much of what else we consume as thought and voice (radio and TV), and can help people stretch their points of view - about their own ideas and about others.

 Echo and the Bunnymen: Siberia - PopMatters Music Review
Though the Bunnymen released several great albums in the early and mid-'80s, 1983's Ocean Rain remains their most seminal work, a haunting album that is simultaneously eerie and beautiful.
Still, their contributions to the rock 'n' roll canon are undeniable, and for the first time since the late eighties, Echo and the Bunnymen sound focused.
But if Echo and the Bunnymen aren't the explosive band they were two decades ago, it's only because the times have just now caught up to them.

 Echo & the Bunnymen haven't lost intensity - The Boston Globe
By now, we're pretty accustomed to veteran rock acts firing up their amps and undermining their reputations with lackluster shows that may garner lots of filthy lucre for the band but amount to little more than bumpy rides down memory lane.
That was certainly the case at Echo and the Bunnymen's sold-out show Saturday night at Axis, as the band proved it is capable of selling more than gauzy nostalgia.
So while Echo and the Bunnymen opened the hour-plus show with the driving ''Going Up," from their 1980 debut, ''Crocodiles," and later played ''All That Jazz" from the same album, new songs such as ''Stormy Weather" and ''Scissors in the Sand" were delivered with just as much verve.

It is darkness suffused by gentle light; arctic grandeur caressed by a soft summer breeze; the vault of eternity within the polished gleaming curve of a tortoise shell.
"Echo and the Bunnymen are responsible for a vibrant, varied body of work, one that married quirky, post-punk sensibility, expansive orchestration and acid-laced psychedelic poetry to create a thoroughly unique and influential sound.
Twenty seven years after their inception, the Bunnymen sound as relevant today as they were in the early 80s, and with the post-punk movement revived with likes of The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, and Interpol, Echo and the Bunnymen's output is more pertinent to the revival then any of the aforementioned newcomers.

 The Smiths vs. Echo and the Bunnymen: Who was better?
Sharing a similar history, the Smiths and Echo and the Bunnymen were both heavily influenced by the punk scene of the previous decade – that goes without saying.
In the case of The Smiths, singer Morissey’s love of poetry, especially Oscar Wilde, was especially differentiating, while the Bunnymen allowed psychedelia to seep into their heady mix of gothic guitar rock.
The failure of The Smiths and the Bunnymen to really break big in the U.S. was but a small part in this saga, for the fine work of these groups lives on.

This queer, angular pop could draw one into the glorious dregs of the underground with its skillful lyrics such as those on their album \"Heaven Up Here.\" Or it could send one sailing across the deep blue orchestral seas like in \"Ocean Rain\".
At the end of the \'80s, Echo & the Bunnymen achieved their greatest successes, filtering their original sound down to some catchy, poetic alt-pop.

Fools Like Us Echo And The Bunnymen emerged from the legendary late-70s Liverpool punk scene, melding the rawness and vitriol of CBGB-styled New York punk with 60s influences (most notably The Doors and The Velvet Underground).
Releasing nine studio albums over the past two decades-plus, Echo and the Bunnymen have earned a reputation as being one of the most fiercely uncompromising and genuinely unique bands to grace rock's tattered tapestry, and are quite probably the only band whose "comeback" has arguably surpassed the precedent set by its initial incarnation.
As we rapidly approach the year 2002, Echo and the Bunnymen continue to do it clean.

My suggestion is, forget the 80s Echo and the Bunnymen; they have little to do with later Echo and the Bunnymen.
