@octothorpe Alas, I never did catch them...was too busy when they were touring.
Brian Futter said maybe they're going to do a reunion tour in 2027, but I have my doubts.

I did like someone's comment that Catherine Wheel was a midpoint between the braininess of Radiohead (who opened for them) and the dunderheadedness of Oasis...seems about right.
Also, there's just *so much* Pink Floyd-ness on this album. I mean, in case you didn't get it, they basically reproduced the "radio" trick from Wish You Were Here on one track...and hired producer Bob Ezrin, who did The Wall...
Catherine Wheel - Adam and Eve
A huge recovery from Happy Days.
Dickinson, Futter, Hawes, and Sims expand their palette further, put together a collections of great, varied tracks, assisted by producers Bob Ezrin and Garth Richards.
Despite that, the band just never took off. There'd be one very weak follow-up, Wishville, and that's all she wrote.
