THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS - WORLD OUTSIDE ANYONE?


THE BOOK OF DAYS &
WORLD OUTSIDE


Great albums.... if you can find them. I had to locate this one Amazon.com. CDUniverse.com has become somewhat of an enemy of mine for trivializing great and talented bands from the past be re-issuing early releases and then cutting out all later releases altogether.

This song and video deserves some credit or at the very least to be remembered. Its the last studio offering from The PSychedelic Furs in 1991. It got very little airplay while radio stations celebrated the dreaded and forgettable fare from the HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM song by Crash Test Dummies and anything by Toad The Wet Sprocket.

The Psychedelic Furs in comparrison WERE A MUSICAL AND ARTISTIC WUNDERKIND. There is no other band who has really touched upon the raw nerve endings of emotion except maybe The Smiths.

Even when compared to Morrissey and the Smiths this band was very different. Instead of being just a pop presence this band had a way of getting into your memory and taking permanent root.
