Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams left Sisters Of Mercy and formed The Mission(called The Mission U.K. in the U.S.) and put out this their first release in 1987. I bought this used at the record store in Kutztown about four years ago. A typical Gothic Rock album with Hussey’s vocals and their melancholic melodies and song themes. This is the first time listening to it. The first song “Wasteland” was a single and one I had heard on the radio. The rest of side two I didn’t like too much.Side two was better with “Sacrilege”,”Severina”,”And The Dance Goes On” and “Love Me To Death” all sounded pretty good to me. The record has a bit of a scratchy sound and one skip but I like the cover.
