What else was on your comp? (if you don't mind me asking)

I still believe in God, but god no longer believes in me:

War- Tones On Tail (from Night Music)
Silent Hedges - Bauhaus (from The Sky's Gone Out)
Alice - The Sisters Of Mercy (from Some Girls Wander By Mistake)
Upstairs - Gene Loves Jezebel (from Promise)
Glass - Joy Division (from Still)
Road To Your Soul - All About Eve (from Scarlet and Other Stories)
Mad World - Tears For Fears (from The Hurting)
Blood Brother - The Mission UK (from Gods Own Medicine)
Rain - The Cult (from Love)
A Day - Clan Of Xymox (from Xymox)
A Mirage - The Essence (not the Cure - (from A Monument Of Trust)
Babble - The Cure (from the Lullaby single-B-side)
Feel So Good - Spacemen 3 (from Taking Drugs To Make Music To Takes Drugs To)
Christine - House Of Love (from The House Of Love)
Emptiness Inside- My Bloody Valentine (from the Feed Me With Your Kiss single-B-side)

it's a Goth comp that turned into shoegaze.

Wish I'd went for Floorshow now to bump it into top 3 and have Alice & Adrenochrome tie.

Thanks for the link Bee OK, I'll grab a copy tonight.

Adrenochrome was the B-side of the original Body Electric 7" single in 1982.

one year passes...

i like the Warner stuff better (challenging opinion!).

I can see why but this is still RONG.

I am not sure if I voted in this but it would have been "Alice" vs "Gimme Shelter" for me.

I have been going through these eps for the first time this week and lo and behold it's Andrew Eldritch's 60th birthday today.

I turned in my Goth card when I sold all my Sisters albums this year. They hadn't done anything for me in ages. Still like the odd track but the material never really compelled me to listen to it.

I would have voted for 'Alice', which is still a stone cold classic IMO.
