Synopsis

Album Description

2008 expanded reissue of the Liverpudlian duo's second album, originally released 18 years after their 1984 debut album.

The band enjoyed a couple of hits 'The First Picture Of You' and 'You Don't Need Someone New' in 1983, releasing one album No Sense Of Sin the following year. The duo reformed after nearly two decades apart to record and release the album Silentspace. The CD booklet features extensive sleeve notes with contributions being made Jem Kelly and Peter Coyle.

"After 17 years since the release of their debut album " No Sense of Sin " back in 1984, Peter Coyle and Jem Kelly finally came up with Silentspace. This album is a collection of Peter and Jem old The Lotus Eaters new wave sound. The unique and enchanting sound of Lotus Eaters is captured in every songs. Although you will miss the melodic sound of synthesizer and piano of classic songs like German Girl, Love Still Flows, The First Picture of You and Alone of all her sex. The guitar rhythms of Set me Apart, Out on your Own. Two Virgins Tender and Soul in Sparks is evident in most of the songs. My personal favorites are Feel It, Stay Free and Can you Kisses Fly among the eleven songs included. This album is worth the wait for all Lotus Eaters and New Wave music fans as well."

No Sense of Sin Part 2? Not quite.

"The follow-up to the fabulous 1984 record "No Sense of Sin" is finally here! (If you don't count the bbc sessions CD) Has it really been 17 years? The new CD has some shining moments that sound like they could have appeared on the bands debut. The signature guitar sounds and synth washes are present along with the classic vocal presentation that identifies the band as the Lotus Eaters. The songs on the CD with that formula are melodic and as good as anything on "No Sense of Sin". The Lotus Eater formula is sadly missing on about 30% of the tracks. The other 70% of the CD is superb. For fans of the band, this is alot of fun and shouldn't be missed. For beginners to the band: Look for "No sense of Sin" instead."
