"This Is the Sea is the third The Waterboys album, and the last of their \"Big Music\" albums. Considered by critics to be the finest album of their early rock-oriented sound, described as \"epic\" and \"a defining moment\", it was the first Waterboys album to enter the United Kingdom charts, peaking at number 37. Steve Wickham makes his Waterboys recording debut playing violin on 'The Pan Within' and subsequently joined the band, appearing on the video of \"The Whole of the Moon\". This Is the Sea is the last album with contributions from Karl Wallinger, who left the group to form his own band, World Party. Mike Scott, the album's principal songwriter and leader of The Waterboys, describes This Is the Sea as \"the record on which I achieved all my youthful musical ambitions\", \"the final, fully realised expression of the early Waterboys sound\", influenced by The Velvet Underground, Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, and Steve Reich. Regarding the end of the groups sound being tied to \"The Big Music\" after completing the album, Scott stated, \"I finished with that kind of music to achieve whatever it was I was trying to achieve with that album. That overdubbed big sounding music, I didn't need to do it anymore.\" The album was recorded between March and July 1985, and released that October (see 1985 in music). A remastered and expanded version was released in 2004. This Is the Sea contains the best-selling Waterboys single, the song \"The Whole of the Moon\".
