Zerra I - Rain (Mercury)

Opening with a dramatic burst of synth, bass and drums it's immediately apparent that this is going to be a modern rock song. In comes the U2 guitar as expected, but then, surprise! They go all Echo And The Bunnymen. And there's the merest hint of Simple Minds lurking in there too. The end result? 0 out of 10 for originality, but I bet they're jolly good live at the Marquee when the three aforementioned bands are on their world tours. (Karen Swayne, No 1, May 4, 1985)
