Eyeless In Gaza - Back From The Rains (2024 Remaster & Expanded Edition) (1986)

Back From The Rains, the 1986 album from Eyeless in Gaza, shows the band making a conscious effort at accessibility. This, the final album for Cherry Red and the last before disbanding for several years, takes on a full band approach by adding a drummer and polishing up the production for a more radio friendly sound. The first sample of this new direction was the single Welcome Now. Producer John Brand helped give the band an upbeat, hook-filled shine. The album wanders between a couple of acappella tracks to several pop-oriented tunes of varying tempos with an overall feel of a spring afternoon. This newly remastered CD edition has been expanded to include six bonus track, four worthy album outtakes along with a couple of single B sides.
