Here is a stunning package - Two brilliant albums in one set!
Holy Ghosts - Is a live album, recorded at the Union Chapel in London. Playing acoustic guitar himself and accompanied by Ian Broudie (Lightning Seeds), \"Mac\" brings new dimensions to his own and Bunnymen classics through some superb orchestral reworkings. The PR notes to the album say that the night was enchanting and Ian sang like a diamond. They aren’t wrong. The versions are almost faultless with Ian’s voice exuding emotion and power, maybe giving an insight as to where his new direction may lie? New life is breathed into the tracks and they shine.
Pro Patria Mori (his fourth solo album) - In short, it’s an album of quite outstanding quality. Incredibly catchy songs. Emotional, brooding and stark, they will make you feel good and occasionally make you ponder. Several of the songs here could have nestled quite easily on Echo & The Bunnymen’s undoubted finest moment, 1984’s ‘Ocean Rain’, surely one of the greatest albums ever made (if you have never heard it, you should be ashamed of yourself). Songs with superb structure and arrangement.
