Virgin Prunes - The Moon Looked Down And Laughed (2004) [Remastered]

I first heard of this band (which is in my top ten) with the song "Sleep Fantasy Dreams." It coincided with the opening of the Batcave in London and all the androgynous voices you could hear there. I was lucky enough to meet Mary (the drummer at the beginning) at Supersonic in Paris (I think I've already mentioned it on the website).

He speaks perfect French. We were able to have a few beers together. He confirmed what I thought. Virgin Prunes didn't think of themselves as a particularly dark band.

In their world, they mainly wanted to develop their perspective on mental illness, nightmares, and childhood.

I said to Mary, "Are you aware that your band has been able to change people's lives, their outlook on life?"

And he replied, "That was the goal, my friend, that was the goal!"
