Body & Soul 1984 12 inch
Body & Soul features another of my personal favourite Sisters of Mercy songs, and the one that initially turned me onto the band.

Although not as timeless as the Poison Door, the song train is a electronic driven goth song, packed with all sorts of delayed effects and echos. It might be a bit too much for some people, but Eldritch's vocals are back in top form for this one. As for the other three songs, Body and Soul is a good standard 80's goth song, as is the sleepy atmospheric sounds of Afterhours, can't get into Body Electric though.

Thumbs up for Body & Soul on the strength of Train, *** stars.
