5.0 out of 5 stars Finally found it!, May 8, 2001

I listened to immaculate fools at the beginning of the 80's in Europe. Their first LP was called Immaculate Fools, following the band's name and one of their hits: Immaculate Fools. I have tried several years to find this record and apparently it was erased from the face of the earth. It only appeared in a recopilation called Smart Music for Smart People, which again was discontinued. A simple song, with wonderful sounds... nothing too elaborated, pure beauty. And an excelent sample of great 80's music.

5.0 out of 5 stars IMMACULATE FOOLS: "A Smart Band For Smart People!", July 24, 2003

Definitely, 80's have been an extraordinary muisc era. A great sample of it are Immaculate Fools (stars by themselves), it's hard to believe how luckless they are about selling their records, and also their fans in order to get them (included me!) I've been looking for their records for several years!. I agree with the idea they are one of the finest bands of rock-pop, thanks to a great Mexican radio station called "Rock 101" (unfortunately dissapeared 7 years ago) many people had the chance to meet them, and a lot of became their fans. I hope we can get all of their records, because they are Art Pieces more than a simple item. It would be nice to get in any format their first record "Nothing Means Nothing" (including their hit "hearts of fortune") and also some rarities or live presentations. I'M SURE THEY'RE A GREAT BAND!!!...Finally I'll get their treasures...

4.0 out of 5 stars misleading title, excellent album, September 17, 2010

While this is certainly not a best of The Immaculate Fools, it certainly is an excellent album.
What it is, is the band's second release titled: Tragic Comedy with their first single "Immaculate Fools" added as the last track.
The band's trademark sound was dependent on lead singer Kevin Weatherill's distinctive vocals and lyrical style. For those not familiar with their sound, he's reminiscent of The Psychedelic Fur's Richard Butler, but even grittier. Their sound, although rooted in typical 80s production, is more acoustic, stripped down and certainly melancholy.
Their is certainly plenty going on with layers of chiming guitars and a solid rhythm section but it's the moody sadness that grabs the attention. "So Much Here" and "Wish You Were Here" are the standout tracks for me with their lilting melodies while " One Minute" and "Don't Drive the Hope From My Heart" could have easily been part of MTV's
canon of classic 80s rock.
