"Reverberation" is the sixth album by Echo & the Bunnymen. It was released in 1990 and it was the first and only album from Echo & the Bunnymen with Irish vocalist Noel Burke instead of Ian McCulloch. The album was produced by Geoff Emerick, who had previously worked as an engineer with The Beatles. The band line-up also included Jake Brockman on keyboards and Damon Reece on drums. This version of the group also released three singles "Enlighten Me", "Prove Me Wrong", and "Inside Me, Inside You", before splitting up.

The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr famously dubbed this incarnation of the group "Echo & the Bogusmen". [cite web | title = Interview: Ian McCulloch | url = http://www.atomicduster.com/interviews/ian_mcculloch/index.php | publisher = Atomicduster | accessdate = 2008-04-25 ]
