The Ocean Blue's major label releases (Sire/Warner Bros. and Mercury/Polygram) in the late 80's and 90s were chart toppers that garnished widespread acclaim and radio & MTV airplay. In 2013, the band returned after a 10 year break with Ultramarine which All Music hailed as ""one of The Ocean Blue's best albums"", and USA Today called ""fresh but also…like beautiful, vintage Ocean Blue"". The Ocean Blue released an EP in 2004 entitled Waterworks and now they are rerissuing the vinyl version with three tracks not on the original EP. Waterworks is a nine song gem with an eclectic mix of the song craft and ""dreamy/melodic"" sound for which the band is known.
