Okay here is where things start to take off and get good with my personal favourite Sisters of Mercy song, on the B side to Walk Away.
Walk Away 12 inch 1984
Walk Away of course is remembered as one of the more popular tracks off the album First and Last and Always, and although it is a good song, the masterpiece really resides on the B side of this 12 inch.
Now I don't like to pump up songs, because then they disappoint, but the Poison Door is one of those timeless goth songs that have you thinking the Lost Boys are floating outside your window. Eldritch is in top form here, outdoing Peter Murphy in my opinion, and everything in this songs composition falls nicely into place from the minor guitar riffs to the drums, bass, reverb effects. Ambience at its best.
thumbs up **** stars
