How does the rest of the album "Waiting for the Floods" compare to "Castles in Spain"? To my surprise I see it's available in CD, in print, and available on amazon.com.

And why do I dig that epic guitar sound in these guys and Big Country but hate it in U-2?

It's FANTASTIC! There were 2 other singles besides "Castles In Spain" - "The Glory Of Love" and "We Can Be Brave Again" - both are at least as good as "Castles In Spain". There are a few less than great songs, but overall the album is WELL worth your purc

Highly recommend. I was surprised when this came out on CD, and won't be surprised to see it go out of print. It is well worth having. I'd also recommend any 12" singles you find by them, they have some excellent b-sides.

OK, jfiber, I did get it from Ideal Copy. (Ugh, already tapping into October's CD quota.) Now who, exactly, is going to love me for it? [;)]
