Product Description

CD Description
Following their messy divorce from the Sisters of Mercy, Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams formed a new band, the Sisterhood. Before they got going though, more legal squabbling with the Sisters camp caused another name change. Now dubbed the Mission, they debuted with a pair of singles that set the stage for their full-length LP, GOD'S OWN MEDICINE. As the Mission, Hussey and Adams (along with the former drummer from the vastly underrated Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and the guitaristfrom the largely unknown Artery) explored a more prominent "rock" sound than any of their pedigrees would suggest. Thatsaid, the synthesizer washes and Hussey's end-on-end lyrical metaphors still toed the goth line pretty closely.
Standouts include "Wasteland", which quickly recovers from it's stunningly pompus, spoken-word intro, evolving a steady rhythm of chugging drums offset by dueling guitars, and "BurningBridges", a pushy, insistent track that highlights Simon Hinkler's crystalline guitar work. Also of note is the slithering rocker "Blood Brother", which features some of Hussey's more emotive vocals (though oddly enough, this track was noton the original album, rather it was added to the cassette and CD versions as one of the two bonus tracks).

5.0 out of 5 stars I still believe in Wayne Hussey..., 12 Jan 2006
By MisterKeith (Southgate, London, England) - See all my reviews
  
...but does Wayne Hussey still believe in me?

Ah, The Mission. Vastly under-rated - forget the "Goth" tag, The Mish were always, first and foremost, just a great rock band. OK, so Wayne looks more like Timmy Mallet these days, but none of us are getting and younger, now are we?

It's spooky how some of these songs are still stuck in my head all these years later - for example, the part in "Wasteland" where, live, the music drops away for "...and no-one can hear my voice". The guitars really chime on this track (it's a sonic cathedral of sound!), and throughout the album.

"Stay With Me" sounded, at the time, the weak link on the album - it actually sounds better with age (or have I just got old?), whereas the more uptempo tracks like the quite wonderful "Severina" just sound as brilliant as they always did. Which, to my mind, is the mark of an excellent songwriting talent.

Later tracks like "Butterfly On A Wheel" and "Tower Of Strength" refined their sound, but they never actually sounded any better than this. Marvellous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Damn Fine, 27 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Every song is a hummable, singable, memorable winner. Over a decade later (scary to think!) I still find some of these tunes going round in my head on the way to work. A damn fine record ... as long as you can can overlook some of Wayne Hussey's more "flowery" lyrics...

4.0 out of 5 stars a classic, 1 Nov 2001
By A Customer
for those who where there in the 80's goth scene this was a much anticipated album which lived up to its its promise + pedigree. we had songs that came straight from the heart with a clarity that we hadn't heard for some time - GOM stands as a testiment to a band that should have been up there with u2 today - i would recomend this disc
