Gary Marx - Nineteen Ninety Five And Nowhere

Gary Marx - Nineteen Ninety Five And Nowhere (2007)
D-Monic

I've listened to post-goth this week as well. If you don't know who Gary Marx is then here's a question for you: Have you noticed the change in sound between Sisters Of Mercy's debute album "First And Last And Always" and the follow up "Floodland"? Yes, that's right - where are the guitars? Ok, I know the whole band exept for Andrew Eldrich left, but the only one that mattered to me was Gary Marx. This album consists of songs for a possible 1995 reuninion of Sisters Of Mercy that never happened. Great stuff!

(1987/2006)
Merciful Release

I don't know why I haven't mentioned this album on my blog. There's always a week for "Floodland". Everybody and their mother already own this album, so I don't need to mention how it sounds. I think the 2006 reissue is worth buying, if not for the improved sound - get it for the fantastic bonus track "Emma"!

The Sisters Of Mercy - Wake DVD
(1985/1998) Exclusive Vision

I don't usually like live-DVD's (or live-albums for that matter) but this one's so classic that I have to mention it. I finally got hold of a bootleg DVD copy. I can't for my life figure out why this epic show hasn't been properly released on DVD. It was released on VHS back in 1985 and I loved it ever since! It's a perfect film to have in the background, much better than a fake fireplace or aquarium movie. And the music is almost too good to be true. I love it!
