Released in 1984, Ocean Rain is the fourth album by the British post-punk band Echo & the Bunnymen. The main single from this album, "The Killing Moon", was later used in the soundtrack of the movie Donnie Darko and The Girl Next Door.
The album was reissued with remastered sound and several bonus tracks in 2003. The bonus tracks include "Angels and Devils", the b-side of the "Silver" single, five tracks (11-15) from a taped live session in July 1983 at the Liverpool Cathedral for the "Play at Home - Life at Brian's" TV program, and two tracks (16-17) from "A Crystal Day", a live concert in Liverpool in May 1984.
The cover was photographed in the Carnglaze Caverns, Liskeard, Cornwall.
