As for Blue Sunshine, everyone who loves it has to admit they're apologizing for Landray. An unfortunate formality, but "This Green City," "Punish" and "Animal" are all first-rate dream/psych pop, just soaking wet stuff. That album destroys The Top, which is just hollow acid-casualty ethnocentrism. Love the title track, love "Birdmad" and "Shake"...but it's all fans-only at this point anyway, isn't it?

I kind of think you're underselling The Top but I stopped going to bat for that album in 1993.

The answer's right there after the full stop! And that's before I even mention Obsession (when the strings kick in after 'can you forgive me... for not understanding your ways?' - possibly the best Banshees moment ever), Cascade and the not-at-all-overrated-thank-you-very-much-Mr-Perry Melt, amongst others.
This thread about Cure reissues makes me want to listen to the Banshees more than any of the three Cure albums due out in July. I may have to have a drunken vinyl mostalgia night this weekend.

-- Onimo (gerry.wat...), March 15th, 2006.
Onimo, you are so on there. Actually used to think Dreamhouse was one of their weakest, but when lesser known tracks like 'Obsession' reveal themselves like that ... it's glorious indeed.
Very anxious to see how well they'll be able to clean this one up. The previous U.S. vinyl and CD sound pretty bad.

Robert said so himself in an update a couple of months back.
Do you, Ned Raggett, claim Blue Sunshine to be better than The Top?
Both are equally splendiferous.

I remember him saying in '86 that he was working on a solo album that was going to be "the 2nd Glove album", but using just acoustic guitar, The Roland drumbox used on BS, piano and cello (!). He was going to call it the Glass Sandwich . Twenty years ago!

I actually like the vocals on Blue Sunshine so I'm not as gaga over that as one might think I would be. I really want to hear songs that were worked up during that time period that were rejected.
