That is what the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has tried to do in a mammoth show that opened last month: "Made in California: Art, Image and Identity, 1900-2000."

The British band played a string of shows exclusively in the U.S. to promote the re-release of their 1980 masterpiece Underwater Moonlight. As anyone who’s heard the album can attest, the British band’s melodious, jangling assault produces thrills that could only be explosive live.
