Underwater Moonlight is a 1980 album by English band The Soft Boys. Initially unsuccessful, it has gone on to be viewed as a psychedelic classic, influential on the development of the neo-psychedelia music genre, and on a number of 80s bands, especially R.E.M.. It is included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
The album was re-released in 2001 as an expanded edition with nine out-takes from the main recording sessions and a bonus disc (...And How It Got There) comprising seventeen tracks from the Underwater Moonlight rehearsals at the Boathouse, a rowing-team clubhouse in Cambridge.

Famous quotes containing the word moonlight:
“The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding
Ridingriding
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.”
—Alfred Noyes (18801958)
