... richly layered song which will reward on repeated playing. The Cult's 'She Sells Sanctuary' benefits from the all time greatest guitar riffs which you will recognise, but probably not have been able to place before listening to this. Killing Joke's 'Love Like Blood' does what it says on the tin, dark and depraved with a creepy and unsettling turn from Jaz Coleman, who was one of the most frightening looking men in music in the eighties. On disc two, Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus' is part indus...more
