Both bands are great, and I'd happily buy versions of this by both of them! Eldritch and co were brilliant, Wayne and co were brilliant. It's a genre of music we may never see again, due to the atrocities of todays music scene, so let's just enjoy it!

PURE MELANCHOLY!!! It's strange, but this is my absolute favourite song from the Sisters. Cheers.

The Sisters' version is more danceable, and flows like a river, the Mission's version is more of a rocking out song. Both awesome, it's a shame there isn't a version with Von reigning supreme over the top. Brilliant song from my two favourite bands :)

This version has an awesome sense of urgency to it...

This song was written by Hussey and Adams. The only difference between this one and the version released by The Mission is that Hussey sings and there are real drums rather than Dr Avalanche

I listen to this so many times and never gets old!!!

Yes this is the Mission!

Turned into The Mission song after the split. The same happened with Garden of Delights.

Yeahhhhhhhh

The actual song is by The Mission, yes, but this instrumental version [as far as I know, anyways] is by The Sisters of Mercy. It was taken off of their TRUE final album together, entitled "Victims of Circumstance", which is the same album featuring both versions of Garden of Delight, as well as Dance on Glass and Red Skies Disappear.

The only thing I wish is that there was a version out there with Andrew's vocals over it, like with 'Garden of Delight'

Not 1982 but 1985. There's also a song sung by Gary Marx.

For anyone who's confused, check out an old Sister's boot called "Saints and Martyrs."

I've always liked the Dr Avalanche sound, I actually think this sounds better than the live drums Mission version.

I prefer hussey's earlier guitar tone, and the slower pace of this version to the mission single. but i still think the mission is superior overall in terms of vocals and their live rhythm section. first and last and always almost ties with gods own medicine. but Children holds the crown.

@DarkLord61636 Often times an artists first version is the best!

Awesome!!

hussey was penning his own material wile still with the sisters there is also a version of "garden of delight" sung by eldridge

ORIGINAL MUSIC BY THE SISTERS OF MERCY

Well said mate!

"Whiskey and the devil and the witching hour..."

The Sisterhood band

Has anyone ever heard the bootleg lp from the Sisters, entitled "Saints and Martyrs"?

I hear temple of love in the verses.. kind of...

I prefer the mission's version.... But each to their own...

This sounds like a demo version, which, in effect, it was; it just wasn’t realised by the Sisters.

I completely agree. I have nothing against Wayne, and I love The Mission, but this version outdoes The Missions in every way =/

Dark Lord, I never read about this before... Sisters were making another album together when Hussey and Adams left the band?? I thought this songs were like b-sides.

the mission licked balls, and this version of serpents kiss shows you why, see also marian/wasteland. i still wish theyd stayed together for another album though.

that's very interesting! Where did you get it from ?

Aguante Vencedores Vencidos de los Redondos

er - wasn't that The Mission? Sounds rather like it - with Dr Avalance grafted in too..

Sounds better without the lyrics XD
