Mike Scott (of The Waterboys).  Forget the fact that they've re-released
"The Whole Of The Moon" and that its been a big British chart success. (Its a
excellent song, particularily its lyrics, which has been cheapened by
being re-released).  I recommend the two albums _This Is The Sea_ (which
contain _The Whole Of The Moon_) and _A Pagan Place_.  Their last two
albums are good but not as good, IMO.
