[Monkeyhead75]

The Sisters at their best...amazin track

[obvius23]

Some of the lyrics are influenced by T.S Eliiot's poem "The Wasteland".

"White bodies naked on the low damp ground"

"At the violet hour (to the violent sound)".

Thought I'd share this in case it leads anyone else a greater insight into Sisters of Mercy lyrics / The Wasteland.

[31G350125GO]

Hey thanks! I know the poem but didn't remember those lines!

[cocagast]

[mandisgoj]

This takes me back! When I grew up in Sweden. I remember that someone had sprayed "Sisters of Mercy" in pink. I grew up in a goth-influenced area, to this music. "This is the final floorshow"!

[barniac68]

that does it: time to buy some girls wander by mistake. thought i`d be happy with first&last... & floodland, but having listened to alice as well today... nice one :)

[TheChrusher22]

biggest song ever ...like it very much

[2bitvillain]

It's that fucking drum machine pattern isn't it? The relentlessness of it....On and on and on...Amazing.

[MyTitanic786]

How do I find mp3iifffy to download this song? I was told to google mp3iifffy.

[zarathustra2k1]

@MyTitanic786 You got firefox? Just download it here - all you need is a nifty greasemonkey plugin. =]

[SumRemex]

Man, that Doktor Rhythm was an awesome drummer!

You can't beat Sisters and March Violets (and to a lesser extent, the Cocteaus) for using drum machines to their best by not trying to emulate real drummers!

[AdamCoffin13]

There will never be another Sisters of Mercy...many have tried to fill their shoes, but all fall short....(RIP Spiggy)

[tutts999]

Still a superb track. Mines up in loft,12'' I think.

[antandshar]

Lol! Mine are in the same place. My kids don't know what records are! very sad.

[SumRemex]

my daughter when aged 5 called LPs "those big black CDs"

[Aelkamal]

[HarryUpHarry]

Best song ever? Perhaps

[gnu210]

i am so fucking gealus of the Germans.... the best gothic scene... black original21 Skiada gerases reeeeee

[2206411411]

A vicious drum beat that kicks its way out of the speakers and mugs everyone in a 30 mile radius. Powerful lyrics that are infinitely more expressive than the crude junk labels serve these days. Riffs that chainsaw their way through your skull then perform brain surgery. It has to be one of the best songs of theirs I've ever heard. I love it.

[avend666]

Incredible song.

[nov112671]

hey andrew doesnt like labels...they are the most intelligent band ever..with a prince of a poet to boot..

[DyllamDop]

Yap, good old "disco" Sister's sound!

Looks like underground hit so - HIT IT!

[santemusiccafe]

i still remember the day i first heard it.....nothing else sounded like it back then...nothing still sounds like it....

In the violet hour to the violent sound

Going round and around and around and around and around

[zarathustra2k1]

@santemusiccafe & around & around & AROUND! ;)

[Twiggy9999455]

@santemusiccafe your perfectly right. Noone could ever sound like the Sisters. This is the only BAnd, i'd liked to hear more an more songs....

[gramikka]

Slow slow quick quick slow...

Pure brilliance.

[greatgoth]

Jesus loves the Sisters!

[adrenachrome05]

One of the best live, especially with a good lighting system, fantastic !.

[DontKnowHowToSayNo]

Can't make it better.  Even the instruments sound like they are singing.

[oojama9]

Best track of Best Band. Best go now, things to do.
