Release Notes:



While the goth scene in England was picking up

commercial steam in the mid-'80s, the Sisters of

Mercy may have seemed quiet, but they roared back

with 1987's Floodland.



Opening with the driving two-part hymn

'Dominion/Mother Russia,' Sisters leader Andrew

Eldritch (along with bassist Patricia Morrison)

creates a black soundscape that is majestic and

vast.



While the 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 songs of the genre. A definite milestone,

newly remastered.
