Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was not the biggest fan of this band, but I do have a few of their records. Seeing that this was only an EP I picked it up on a lark, but was then surprised at my disappointed when it ended so abruptly.
While I had thought that The Ocean Blue were somewhat of a one trick pony (reverb, dated production, etc.) this release proves that the band has grown both as songwriters and as musicians. Like their past releases, each track here offers tangible atmosphere -But for Waterworks, add to that an updated sense of song structure and melody.
This could easily be a five star record had it been just 4 or 5 tracks longer. Still, if this is just a taste of what is to come, I'm back on board.

The Ocean Blue cemented their place as one of the most influential bands of the New Wave with a sound rooted in the same vein as The Smiths and New Order. On this album, the group has soaked up the sounds of Stereolab and The Sea And The Cake to further develop their new wave sound.--This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.
