THE CULT – love (LP Vinyl)

Repress des großartigen 2ten The Cult-Albums von 1985, das ihren Durchbruch bedeutete und auf dem u.a. die epische Hymne " She sells santuary", aber auch "Rain" und "Revolution" enthalten sind. Klassiker. "There were certain guidelines in the post-punk, new wave movement, and that was to stay clearly away from long hair and guitar solos," says Ian Astbury. "So for us that was like, 'Great! That's exactly where we're gonna start!' If that's where we're not supposed to be according to some erudite journalist, then that's exactly where we're starting. I wanted to find out what the taboo was all about. Then you hear Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin and The Doors, and suddenly it's like, 'What is this? We're not supposed to listen to this? You're kidding me!' We've always had a punk rock attitude, but it's less reactionary and more dynamic. Rebels respond to a situation in a way that's not just being contrary, there's a visceral and energetic response."*Beggars Banquet
