From the ashes of Sisters of Mercy (and apparently as a legal ploy to prevent name usage?) comes this platter which is EXACTLY the kind of music I would have expected to her wannabe DJs “spin” at a house party off La Brea to a bunch of 30 somethings who had just discovered Ecstasy and were numbingly grooving with mouthfuls of lollipops.
“I’m spinning at Gregg’s on Saturday night.” is the douchiest thing I’ve ever heard for “playing records”, but it was a thing and I was there and I’m super glad that era is over.
As it descends into it’s more recognizable gothiness it loses some of it’s timelessness but that doesn’t diminish it to me.
This is terrific.
