Overview

Sunflowers --- 1994

Produced by the Mike Scott Information Society for its members. All the songs were recorded in the Summer of '91 at Ringsend Studios in Dublin just before Mike left for New York, except for tracks 5 & 6 which are from a Virgin radio session made in July '93 in London. KISS THE WIND was last heard in the shows of December '90 when it was called ONCE UPON A TIME. THE NEW LIFE has different verses and an outro which did not appear on "Dream Harder". GOOD NEWS is an earlier unfinished mix with a drum machine. The finished version which appears on "Dream Harder" was overdubbed by Carla Azar in New York. SYMPATHY FOR DAVID ICKE was included in a series of songs later recorded as B-sides. EVER TO BE NEAR YE is a poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns and LOVE AND DEATH is a poem by W.B. Yeats. The music for both these tracks was written by Mike Scott as was all the other material on this C.D. Special thanks to John Kennedy, Jayne Gething, Nigel Sweeney and Ed. Rosenblatt. LOVE AND DEATH & SPIRITUAL CITY are included courtesy of VIRGIN 1215. Artwork and layout by Carol Napier. All material is copyright © 1994 Geffen Records. Published by Sony Music Ltd.
