I don't know what that is?Originally Posted by Barry
Are they Cohen-esque?
It's 1980s Goth Rock with a drum machine. Not sure you'd be into it. 'Floodland' is now considered a bit of a classic, apparently. I got it back when it came out on my 'The NME hate it, so it must be good' buying system.

I was being facetious; 'The Sisters of Mercy' is a track off Leonard Cohen's debut album.
The track refers to two women Cohen met in Edmonton, Canada.
Despite the title, they were not from any religious order - far from it: 'Ladies of the Night' would be a more accurate description!
