Considered the magnum opus of the band's career, 'The Killing Moon' revolves around an Eastern-flavored, acoustic guitar motif and lush, haunting string arrangements. Ian McCulloch famously claimed the poetic lyrics regarding fate and predestination came to him in a dream. The track's sweeping, cinematic grandeur helped define the neo-psychedelic movement of the mid-1980s.
