Blue - The Mission

According to The press release, one will find the quote of "setting a deadline to record the album in eight weeks", is very obvious. Very little time seems to have been spent on the production of this album - a pity really, as it does contain some of Hussey's better songs. Only one track from "Blue" has decent production work, that track being the emotive "That Tears Shall Drown The Wind". Like The Mission's earlier "Masque" album, it might have been (possibly) a more wiser move if "Blue" was released as the first much threatened solo album from Mr Hussey (how many albums has Hussey written that ended up as ...

Masque - The Mission

that they can create any kind of music they want without sound superficial or just for being influenced by what´s "hip" at the moment. I have all the records by The Mission and in every one or them I can find surprises. My oppinion is that their music is out of this world!!! Unfortunately this recording was misunderstood and underrated by people who are narrow-minded and didn´t want to change their habitual kind of music they were accustomed of. It was a challenge for them and they chose the easy way by saying "no, we don't like it", simple isn´t it? The Mission started as a Gothic band in 1986 after two members of it left The Sisters of Mercy. ...

Masque - The Mission

tring seem to scream this ain't The Mission you knew and liked better." 'Shades of Green pt.II' failed ever impress me, hip-hop mish is not a pretty sight or sound. 'Trail of Scarlet' is a pleasant little straight-forward pop song, as is the track before it, 'Even You May Shine'- my personal favorite on the LP-which is much cooler and single-worthy(why it wasn't released as one is baffling)than 'Shades'was. The middle of the LP is integrated with arabic strings and pleasant tracks such as 'Spider and the Fly' and eternally-graceful 'Like a Child Again' benefit greatly from this change of ...
