Brother Wolf & Sister Moon - Three Tune Tuesday
Every generation has their coming of age bands & albums. For me there was no other than The Cult & their album "Love". Skating, dating & pontificating, the world was ours!
It was a brilliant concept album, as most of the epic 80's albums were. Love created an atmosphere of Native Americans & the American South-West that was palpable. If you didn't know they were from the UK you would be mistaken to think that they were Native Americans, as we did when we were kids. That's how damn good this album was.
First up is a discoesque, New Wave banger Nirvana. When the music is loud, we all get down!
The Cult - Nirvana
Taking it down to the sweat lodge for some deep introspection as the winds pick up and the rain clouds descend.
The Cult - Brother Wolf, Sister Moon
I see a hollow man, gun in hand, it points my way. Genius.
The Cult - Hollow Man
The bonus track. I have thought many times this would make a great sci-fi story. Perhaps I should write it?
The Cult - Black Angel
This is another example of why the 80's were such an incredible era. This album was an absolute masterpiece. An example of when musicians broke from the formulated, executive produced pop and produced some of the most memorable music ever recorded.
Sail on to the eternal reward.....
Thanks to @boxcarblue for introducing me to #TTT and @ablaze for dreaming it up.
And then there came Electric..
Yep, had both albums. It's interesting looking back how both albums played to the times. They still incorporated the Native American element into that album too, Fire Woman.
Saw them live in concert twice.
Must have been lots of ladies. I remember all my girlfriend loving The Cult, or maybe it was Ian...
Or the cool looking billy on guitars...good times. Electric was my fav of all three earlier albums though.
i think Love hit home because I lived in the South West amongst Natives. It was spiritual.
Interesting.
