Echo And The Bunnymen - Bring On The Dancing Horses (Korova)

"Bring On The Dancing Horses" is Echo at their least enigmatic and most political. The verses are charged to bursting with Mac pointing the finger of scorn at the fakers and liars who ruin the lives of ordinary people by selling them cheap dreams. This October song comes at an ironically apt time considering the current arguments about democratic socialism. Melodically this is also the Bunnymen in their strongest single form since "Never Stop". Will, Mac, Les and Pete concoct a multi-layer of effects from fragile to razor sharp. It's been a long while but it's more than worth the wait. (Max Bell, No 1, October 12, 1985)

The first Bunnies single in over a year and as someone who's not been knocked flat by their charms previously, I was more than pleasantly surprised. Lush and lovely. Bring on the windswept videos! Mac - I'm converted. I swear I could almost hear your heart beating. (Nancy Culp, Record Mirror, October 26, 1985)
