Echo & The Bunnymen disappeared into the briar patch sometime around 1988, when Ian McCullough decided he wanted to make solo records. (He came up with the alluring Candleland in 1989.) If that wasn't enough of a problem (kind of like when the Doors continued without Jim Morrison), Echo and the Bunnymen also lost their original drummer Pete De Freitas in a fatal road accident, he was just 26. They continued on to make 1990's Reverberation, before finally giving up the ghost and disbanding.

At his best McCullough conjured up images of Morrison, updating that signature neo-psychedelic sound with some synth-pop sensibilities and the exquisite guitar work of Will Sergeant (who kid played Keith Richards to McCullough's Jagger, or Mick Jones to McCullough's Joe Strummer, of The Edge to McCullough's Bono....oh well). Lucky for us McCullough finally got over the solo bug and has now reunited with Sergeant, (see following pages.)
