Edited 3 days agoWas there ever a more beautiful and precocious album than this? (only Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden comes to mind as well as Beth Gibbons and Rustin' Man's Out of Season). And you have to own two copies of this album; firstly this one with a reworked Forbidden Colours as the final song (the original CD bonus track in 1987) and secondly a copy that ends with Promise (The Cult of Eurydice), which was the CD bonus track in Japan and for all issues starting in 2003 and onwards. You could even argue you should own a third copy, one that has no bonus track at all... (if such a thing existed). -
Autumnal melancholy awhirl with blowing leaves across gray silvery songscapes that resonate and sparkle.
