They were very good yes, but incredible = a big word ;). And please, stop thinking and saying that "Most modern musicians forget that bands like these ever existed". You could be surprised how much they know about 'older music'. I know a lot of young musicians and listeners, and sometimes I really am surprised about the 'catalogue' of bands and music they know. Statements like yours are more about nostalgic feelings than really being in touch with what happens today, I guess. Grtz, Rik.
first heard this on a peel session in77.. bought the scream when it came out n played it to death...still 1 of my faves of all time, n shit she wuz hot!!!!!!!!!
I can't take this song out of my head!!! My metalhead friends will kill me XD
Seriously talking, I listened to this for the first time two days ago and I loved it, this music is great, full of emotion, weird in a great way and very, very catchy!
@TruthSerum67 How right you are mate......NOW its become a f**kin life style with *ankers walking around with patheitic long leather overcoats........THAT AINT GOTH!!!!! It was really just supposed to be a youth culture...apssing fad....now look.....bloody stupid....all those crass vampire flicks series etc.......This is how I really got into music....saw them in 1982 & 1985.....amazing....Always had great guitarists...Mckay..genius..as was McGeoch....and Carruthers
F**kin awesome song..with its Germanic/Militarist beat and rhythm....Mckay was a genius the best guitarist of his time...a long with Adamson...McGeoch etc...

Thanks a million for posting something so good.
Does anyone know why John McKay's entry on W/pedia is so short? What did he do for the last 30 years - did he retreat from the music world?

I really like this song, but I personally think that the Massive Attack version is better, because it has no vocals....
