That period in time much of the indie music press, NME & Melody Maker etc, was distinctly heavily skewed in favouring bands not like them...The Smiths, Wedding Present, The Fall, Jesus & The Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine...those types. The Mission were often looked down on and accused by those in the press of being bombastic. Their image didn't fit for mainstream popularity, the whole thing with Andrew Eldritch and Sisters of Mercy...and, some very embarrassing TV appearances and interviews of Mr Hussey drunk out of his skull didn't do them any favours either.

I remember being dragged along by a girlfriend to one of The Missions early gigs at Newcastle Tiffanys when they were touring the Gods Own Medicine album. I really didn't get the whole goth thing this band were attached to - still don't & probably never will - but hand on heart that gig was one of the best I've ever seen. I was only a kid at the time, 15 years old I reckon, and since then I've been to hundreds of gigs but few will even come close to how good that Mission gig was. I always maintained a bit of a secret interest in them for years after & I'm a bit crushed I've missed their recent tour. To my ears anyway this band were from an era when music really mattered & often soundtracked the various directions & tailspins your life took moving forwards. I miss that era & listening to this incredible track this evening I'm instantly transported back there. A timeless classic from an absolutely incredible band.
