The Lotus Eaters/No Sense of Sin (1984)

A new wave band from Liverpool, the Lotus Eaters' debut album. The members are Peter Coyle (vocals), Jeremy Kelly (guitar. Ex-the Wild Swans member) and others. Elegant and delicate acoustic guitar pop in the baroque pop style, with strings and synths. Smoke-like sound with lots of reverb. Music filled with transient beauty of youth. Includes the debut single "The First Picture of You" (#15 on the UK charts). The CDs (reissued by BMG/Bridge Japan in 1998, by Vinyl Japan in 2001) has nine tracks from the original 1984 LP ("Too Young", "When You Look at Boys" and "Start of the Search" weren't included because of relation of rights) and ten bonus tracks.
