Thanks for the recommendation, Richard. By the way, it was actually me that thought that Whole of the Moon was the first single - a case of quotes getting confused, I think, but no problem.

Yikes. > Last one I heard on the radio was "Corn Circles".. hee hee. I have to correct you as well, Wendy. The boy named Johnny was actually a girl (the title of the song is "A Girl called Johnny", but I don't know what the first Waterboys-hit ever was. "The Whole of the Moon" no doubt was the biggest hit here in Holland. Mike Scott by the way is in more ways connected to Kate Bush. On the inlay of the Waterboys album 'Dream Harder' he speaks about a dream in which he meets Kate. The dream he describes is, as all dreams, very confusing, so I can't really tell you more about it. But I can really recommend this album to you (as for all the Waterboys albums, especially Room to Roam). He went solo a few years ago and made a great album. End of this month, beginning of next, a second solo-album of Mike should come out. Some say that knowledge is something that you'll never have...
