2006
The CD version of 2006 issued digitally re mastered edition of the 1985 Goth rock classic remains unequalled in the genre,
permanently ensconced on top of a pedestal from which it cannot be toppled.
From the opening claustrophobia of "Black Planet" to the melancholy "No Time to Cry,"
Eldritch continually assured listeners that "everything's gonna be alright".
Continuing with the bass-
clocking in at over seven minutes, is the best of its kind.
"Some Kind of Stranger" became a "love song" for the Goth crowd.
Copied to death, its brilliance has never been replicated.
This edition was re mastered from the original multi tracks and sounds better than ever before,
augmented by six non-
a previously un issued track from the album sessions.
The disc housed in a foldout digipack sleeve with updated liner notes.
