500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s ... Ranked! # 57 Echo & The Bunnymen - Crocodiles

 


A new Wave of Psychedelia at the end of the Sevnties. A very important record to me when I first heard it a couple of years later. I fastened myself to records and bands in those days. It was a good thing to do. I'm pleased with my young self. And the bands were worth attaching yourself to im those days. They had vision, ambition drive and belief. A sense of mission.

As for Crocodiles. It was disquieting, Also inspiring. The record I was looking for without realising I was looking for it, . I love the guitars. The voice. The passion. The sense of unease. But also the fact that it wedded itself to melody and dark romanticism. It still sounds magical and darkly seductivee. Mystery. Love's secret ingredient.
