i was just listening to a song which im pretty sure was
theirs, but it sounded really recent and i thought they
stopped making music years ago...

i liked some of their songs a lot

any fans around here?

i distinctly remember a song by them out in 1987/88 called
"lucretia my reflection"

i thought from the name of your thread that it was going to
be leonard-cohen related actually.
so this turned out to be an interesting surprise.

I love them... more of a guilty pleasure though. Floodland
is some yummy Goth goodness.

What was the song called? I don't think they're recorded
anything since the early 90's, 91 or 92.

I just looked at Allmusic and the last sentence in the bio
is ''he (Andrew Eldritch) is currently the group's only
member''...

Weird.

i dont remember what was the song called, and got aware of
it when it was almost fnished so i didnt get any lyrics
either...

anyway, here's some news regarding their work (from their
official site), unforunately there isnt any date to it so it
could be 10 years ago :)

"Now that the moribund relationship with East West Records
is officially over, it seemed reasonable to bang out a few
singles - independently - while we're putting an album
together (which usually takes a long time) and getting
somebody to put it out with a bit of muscle (which usually
takes even longer).

This series of independent singles was due to start with a
stonking (of course) version of 'SUMMER'. The music to
'SUMMER' was written by Adam Pearson. The words were written
by Andrew Eldritch. It's very pretty, and probably very
cruel. It goes like a freight train painted in the shiniest
yellows and blues.

We planned to add another version of it (Adam supplying
remix and Kleenex), and a third track which should have been
one of the other new songs; we didn't decide which one. It
might have been something you've heard us play live; it
might not.

What with one thing and another, this was not to be. Sorry.
We are working on an album, inter alia, but the matter of
single releases is currently on hold."

hehe.. I've been to their gig several years ago and we were
the only ones who were not in black. Kind of feeling out of
place in the queue!

This is a flash back to a dodgy past. I still have Some
Girls Wander By Mistake and an ep called Under the Gun with
vocals by Terri Nunn! *puts them in cd player for a bit of
nostalgia*
