Requesting "Black Planet" by Sisters of Mercy

[unguarded moment]

If anyone has this song to share that would be nice. I know it's not normally my style of music but, heck, it's kinda catchy.[:)]

First And Last And Always is still in print and you can order off amazon.com as I provided a link for you to check out. The album as a whole is very good and includes several "must have" tracks including "Walk Away", "Possession", and "Logic"

I believe there is a greatest hits floating around too but it doesn't contain nearly enough good tracks, best bet is to stick with this CD as it is affordable and very good.

You can also get it for 99 cents via itunes if you don't want to buy the cd.

In my opinion The Sisters of Mercy are the best representative of the power new wave. Their debut album First and Last and Always which includes Black Planet will always be dear to me coz it introduced me to the band. This being said, the best tracks of the album are Walk Away and Marian, both new wave anthems in the Philippines, then No Time to Cry, First And Last And Always, Logic and Nine While Nine which has a Joy Division flavour.
I would recommend nevertheless A Slight Case Of Overbombing (Greatest Hits Vol. 1) coz it includes their smashing Hits, Temple of Love, Lucretia My Reflection, Dominion / Mother Russia, This Corrosion, More, Vision Thing etc
If U are still interested in the band, I might be able to do something for U .... off line![:D]

In my opinion this is a bogus greatest hits, I suppose if you are just getting into the band and want a taste of SOM this would be perfect for you, otherwise it's missing a handful of ideal tracks and some of the versions on that particular greatest hits are either remixed or extended not the original album versions.

I rest my case because Unguarded Moment precisely seems to be not familiar with the Sisters. The question of whether the songs are remixed, extended or whatever is secondary. If you get hooked to the Sisters, you will ultimately get all their albums. Meanwhile A SLIGHT CASE OF OVERBOMBING covers at leat 3 albums, FLOODLAND, FIRST AND LAST AND ALWAYS and VISION THING and in my opinion, it's a good place to start. This being said FIRST AND LAST AND ALWAYS is an excellent album, I have 3 copies of it...eheheheh
