MEMORIAL

Bernard Paganotti took a punt on releasing a single from the 'Haunted' album - perhaps showing that like a lot of music tenuously linked to prog, it leaned a lot more towards the commercial side of the late 80s. Memorial and Rainy Days Lonely Nights feature on this single in exactly the same way as on the album.

In releasing Memorial as a single, my assumption is that they were attempting to ride on the coat tails of the burgeoning gothic movement. Think "Bela Lugosi's Dead". There's something about it that's too cheesy though. Most likely the irritating backing vocal rhythm (Shiggy-Diggy-Da?).

Rainy Days Lonely Nights is a slow instrumental. Nothing special or memorable.
