Earth, Sun, Moon, the third album from English alternative rockers Love and Rockets, came out on Beggars Banquet in 1987, and it glows soft and hazy. The songs drift and shimmer: "No New Tale to Tell" skips along with an easy, knowing swagger, "Mirror People" buzzes, "Rainbird" and "Lazy" float, and "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven" and "Welcome Tomorrow" sway with a dreamy psychedelic lilt.

It was remastered in 2001, though unlike the band's earlier albums it didn't get the expanded treatment; most of the extra tracks turned up instead on disc 5 of the 2013 box set 5 Albums.
