An excellent album for fans of British pop & The Bunnymen

"For starters, this album is a MUST for fans of Echo & The Bunnymen. Jimmy Grimble has 2 tracks featuring Ian McCulloch of The Bunnymen with Alex James from Blur and Simon Boswell. I loved the almost-acapella feel of their rendition of sentimental favourite, "Blue Moon". "Do You Believe?", an original penned by McCulloch, James & Boswell, is a bit schmaltzy to begin with, but sets into a nice groove. Other highlights- a couple outstanding remixes updating old 80's favourites. EMF's "Unbelievable" is druggy cool, and Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Two Tribes" ...well, if FGTH did the "Shaft II : John Shaft in the Matrix" soundtrack, this is what it would sound like. I also dig Freestylers "Feel The Panic", and old standbys from Charlatans, Happy Mondays & Stone Roses. Of course, Echo & The Bunnymen w/"Nothing Lasts Forever" ...well...it's the Bunnymen. All in all, a great addition to anybody's collection."
