Nigel Grainge (founder, Ensign Records) : To me, The Waterboys of Savage Earth Heart and A Pagan Place was the greatest band in the world. There had been nothing like them before and there's been nothing like them since. But The Waterboys of their later albums is not The Waterboys that I knew and loved. It's certainly not the band that I signed and believed in. And that saddens me because I can no longer see them achieving the hights that at the beginning I really believed they could achieve.
