5.0 out of 5 stars Dreamlike Quality, Happy Memories, 30 May 2001

By A Customer

The title track, The First Picture Of You, is reminiscent of balmy Summer nights, and the flush of first love. The angel-like overlyrics contrast perfectly with the catchy, must-dance beat of the chorus. A good array of songs feature on the album, and it is a must for all those who were growing up at a time when music was evolving with chameleon-like traits. Although this band are today very little known, just ask someone from the era about the title track, and watch the memory of recognition wash over them like the tide sweeping you away for a rendezvous with an old friend. A total must-have for us Eighties Children.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 14 Mar 2006

By	AlanMusicMan (Salisbury UK) - See all my reviews

Having got the original recording of "First Picture of You" on a 80s hits compilation album (and liked it very much) I thought I would buy a Lotus Eaters album. Music Central (Microsoft's short-lived but still excellent Music CD-ROM) highly recommends the band for melodic pop of the best kind - my cup of tea exactly.

What a horrible disappointment then to discover that this appears to be a set of BBC recordings of the kind that bands often did in the 1980s when they had a hit, more-or-less live sessions intended to be played into Radio 1's evening shows. These sessions very often sounded like they were done in a hurry (as indeed they mostly were), and this is no exception.

First they play "First Picture..." but it all sounds a bit flat and at times slightly out of tune - the vocalist does ok but the rest of the band play like they can only just hear each other and aren't quite able to stay in synch. There are indeed some great songs on offer here, but the performances let them down. A fully polished studio album of these songs would be a joy I think.

I just listened to this right through, and now I think I will probably throw it away. It would be shame to come to associate these great songs with these sadly lacking recordings/performances. I'm off to look for a pukka Lotus Eaters album.

4.0 out of 5 stars authentic new wave sound, 30 Jul 2004

By	cliff (philippines) - See all my reviews

i listen to new wave but i'm not really a fanatic.but when i heard this album,though i'm not well aware about the lotus eaters,it just swept me and made me sit back and listen to the entire cd.i could say that even if you're not into new wave,this cd won't turn out to be a bore.
