The Waterboys attracted me with their "epic" turns, their "Big Music." While some of the music may still have been Big, the search went inward and away from those Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704562197692201471.post-23904739039979324412017-03-02T21:41:26.321+00:002017-03-02T21:41:26.321+00:00Bouzouki.

I knew Mike too... but so did a lot of people back then. This album just wisnae anywhere near "A Pagan Place" or "This Is The Sea". I don't dislike it... but I don't love it like the previous two.

I think I needed to mature a bit.

They were actually the focus of a scene - 'Raggle Taggle'. Horrific stuff. It gave middle brow big trotters the first chance ever to be 'current' or even 'trendy'. Of course this was part of a long line of 80s disasters when it came to taste or style. needless to say the music was lost in all of thisAntonoreply@blogger.com
