Earth Sun Moon

Released

It wasn’t quite an unplugged album, but on 1987’s Earth Sun Moon, Love and Rockets decided to consciously record their most intimate and quietly focused album yet — at least for the most part. Songs like “Rainbird,” the softly sighing and flowing title track and the easygoing “Waiting For the Flood” had that feeling, while the rumble of “Mirror People” and the zone-out flow of “The Light” added further variety. But it was the fluke MTV and then radio success of the crisp sing/shoutalong “No New Tale To Tell” that suddenly brought them a flood of wider attention.
