Floodland
2006 Issued Digitally Remastered Edition of 1987's "Floodland". While the Goth Scene in England was Picking Up Commercial Steam in the Mid-'80s, Sisters of Mercy May have Seemed Quiet, but Roared Back with this Album. Opening with the Driving Two-part Hymn "Dominion/Mother Russia", Sisters Leader Andrew Eldritch (Along with Bassist Patricia Morrison) Created a Black Soundscape that is Majestic and Vast. While Earlier Sisters Releases were Noisy, Sometimes Harsh Affairs, "Floodland" is Filled with Lush Production (Thanks to Meat Loaf Writer/Producer Jim Steinman and the New York Choral Society) and Lyric Imagery that is Both Scary and Glorious. The Slower Tracks Like "Flood" and "1959" Are Some of the Best Ethereal Sounds Goth Has to Offer and the Downright Regal "This Corrosion" is One of the Best Single Songs of the Genre. A Definitive Milestone, the Disc Housed in a Foldout Digipack Sleeve with Updated Liner Notes.
