Synopsis

Product Description

ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN - A BRIEF HISTORY : Echo & the Bunnymen's dark, swirling fusion of gloomy post-punk and Doors-inspired psychedelia brought the group a basketful of British hits throughout the '80s, while attracting a sizeable cult following in the United States. REAKING THE BACK OF LOVE is a celebration of their nearly 25 years together capturing the group s most brilliant moments. Touring in support of 2005's SIBERIA, Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant are spot-on throughout this 12-song set at Shepherds Bush Empire in London. Lead singer McCulloch's signature swagger still captures the urgency and poetry of Jim Morrison while Sergeant, whose musicianship has improved vastly over the years, shines throughout the set. An essential collection for those who have witnessed the splendor of Echo live and a needed
document of their great repertoire.

CD Reviews

FINALLY A GREAT LIVE ECHO CD

Cole Thorton | Los Angeles, CA United States | 06/26/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Finally a great live album representing the god head that is Echo. Recorded in London this captures the band in its prime. All the hits are here plus more. An outstanding version of KILLING MOON."

A real treat

"3.5 stars

Live albums are a mixed bag for me -- a lot of times it's tough not to feel you're only listening to inferior versions of the songs you know and love. When I first played this CD that was my feeling of disappointment... but months after I first purchased the CD, I put it in the CD player in the car, not expecting anything great, and really enjoyed it. What happened? I think if you put this CD on without the expectation that these songs are somehow going to match the band's studio versions, it's a really good listen.

The band covers many periods of their career including songs from the recent, and very great CD, "Siberia". It's a live performance that makes it seem as if the band is enjoying themselves also. I would now consider this the best live recording I've heard from the band and also one of the most enjoyable live CDs I've heard period.
