#431 The Teardrop Explodes - Kilimanjaro

This was an unexpected early 80's alt music find. This album was really pretty good if you like early 80's music, which I do. It reminded me a little bit of bands like The Smiths, The Cure, early New order, Echo & the Bunnymen etc. Kilimanjaro was their first release in 1980 and was well received prompting the band to record a second in 1981. Again the fans and critics, liked it so the band went into the studio to record a third in 1982, however the band had already been experiencing in fighting and differing ideas on musical styles, and they broke up before completing the album.
