Mysterio by Ian McCulloch
Mysterio is an album by Ian McCulloch, released in 1992. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Honey Drip”, on 4 lists with a best position of #65.
Ian McCulloch's Mysterio arrived on 17 March 1992, the follow-up to Candleland and his second solo record since leaving Echo & the Bunnymen in 1989, and it finds him still brooding in velvet, moodier and more private than a frontman's solo outing has any right to be. He takes on Leonard Cohen's "Lover, Lover, Lover", and Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins drifts in to lend her voice to "Heaven's Gate".
East West and Sire put it out, and "Honey Drip" is the song that has lasted. The album reached 46 in the UK and 39 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, a modest showing for a man still working out who he was without the Bunnymen behind him.
