So what kind of music does WIll play? I need to be prepared.

You need to buy Curvature of the Earth.

well, in my book it's way cooler than Mac's solo stuff...sshhh!....but the best way to describe it is physchedelic ambient! Curvature of the Earth is more rocking than the earlier stuff. (and one track even has vocals, his wife's!) i love all of it! a lot! but it's nothing like the Bunnymen whatsoever! the early stuff doesn't have much guitar (if any) so be prepared for mostly computerized sounds! it's very spacey sounding. the latest adds guitar in with the computerized sounds. it's awesome! makes a great party background cd too!!!!

Its an intresting fact that a lot of the Bunnymen not to mention Paul Simpion and Julian Cope Produce a Lot of Ambient Project Work.

Will Sergeant - B.O.M / Glide / Serpents / Family Of God / Baltic Fleet

Damon Reece & Jake Brockman - B.O.M

Damon Reece & Mike Mooney - Lupine Howl

Mike Moony - Applecraft

Adam Peters - Family Of God

Paul Fleming - Baltic Fleet

Ceri James & Alex Germains - The Mountianeers

Paul Simpson - Skyray

Julian Cope - Rite

Not to mention associations with Spiritualized

MOST OF THIS STUFF IS AN AQUIRED TASTE

Most of it on the excellent Ochre label
Cope's work with Thighpaulsandra (as Queen Elizabeth) is also fuckin great
Sarge plays on the Serpents LP too, a lot of hippy nonsesne that is, fun mind.

no really.... you NEED to buy this. i can't stress it enough...

it's one of my top 10 favorite albums... not that my opinion matters, but if you are a bunnymen fan, i think it is required listening to hear what Will can do when left to his own devices.... the man is brilliant.

I can understand not liking music with no vocals but you just wrote off most jazz and classical with that statement

really eno, stars of the lid, biosphere i could go on forever with great instrumental music
