Personnel: Julian Cope (vocals, bass guitar); Alan Gill, Michael Finkler (guitar); Ray Martinez, Hurricane Smith (trumpet); David Balfe (piano, organ, synthesizer); Gary Dwyer (drums). Emerging from a late-1970s/early-'80s scene (Echo & the Bunnymen, Wah!, et al) based around the Liverpool club Eric's, Teardrop Explodes channeled '60s influences (The Doors, Scott Walker, Syd Barrett) into pop-tinged New Wave. Their 1980 debut, KILIMANJARO, is full of dreamy, effervescent tunes that sparkle with the kind of wide-eyed wonder found in '60s psychedelia. Still, their propulsive edge could exist only in a post-punk-fueled universe. Singer/future-solo-star Julian Cope's reedy voice relates tales tinged with an air of mystery and melancholy atop whirring organ lines and modernized Mersey beats. Trainspotters note: the Cope/Ian McCulloch-penned "Books" was also recorded contemporaneously by Echo & the Bunnymen, as "Read It In Books."
