	Encyclopedia: Floodland
		Floodland is the album released by The Sisters of Mercy in 1987, complete with heavy production, layers of synthesizer, choral singing, and the drum machine Doktor Avalanche.
		Floodland sees The Sisters of Mercy becoming the artistic output of one man, lead singer and songwriter Andrew Eldritch, with his former bandmates off in other bands such as The Mission and Ghost Dance.
		The album arguably sent the Gothic genre spiraling away from the guitar-driven sound of the early and mid 1980s and inspired the next wave of goth bands such as London After Midnight and Switchblade Symphony.

		It's a role that suits Eldritch down to the trembling ground, giving rein to the flest of ironies and setting that absurd Hades boom of a vocal so deep that you often have to oxyacetaline the meaning from the words as they sit, trapped in the mix like bodies in tangled chassis.
		Floodland is a contradiction in terms, an edifice to decay and, as vigilante of the end of everything, Eldritch unleashes all his paranoia and obsession.
		Facing up to that, Floodland is a triumph of sorts, neither optimistic enough to suggest there's a Noah's Ark nor pessimistic enough to accuse us all of navigating like a ship of fools.

		"Floodland", however, found Andrew forging ahead into moody cinematic dance club land, and it is considered by many to be an essential Goth-electronica-New Wave hybrid.
		The very first thing one might notice about "Floodland" is that it is every bit as grandiose, sweeping, majestic, etc., as the previous album was gloomy and brooding.
		Andrew hated the association people made between his work and the Gothic movement, and it seems that "Floodland" was his attempt to distance himself from the fl-clad, bat-winged multitudes.

	Floodland - Ocean Of The Lost - review @ Tartareandesire.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This is their second album and it was actually released in 2001 on NSM but now it is being re-released by Wait And Bleed Records with distribution through Napalm Records.
		Dark, deep vocals and melancholic guitar melodies are the trademarks of this band and even though this album probably ends up in the rock category there are obvious traces of metal in their music.
		There are deep emotions at play in every song of the album and unlike many other gothic rock bands Floodland varies their music quite a lot which keeps up the listener's interest for most of the fifteen tracks.

		This is stunning debut novel from Marcus Sedgwick and one in which the reader is instantly transported to the watery wastelands of the Fens via strong characterisation and an atmospheric tension that envelops the reader in a sea mist that chills to the bone.
		Floodland is a challenging novel for older readers who will be captivated by a vision of the future that is not so unbelievable.

	Floodland: album reviews and ratings
		Floodland is an Austrian goth-rock band formed in 1995, who inherited their name from their main influence cult band: The Sisters of Mercy.
		Their discography includes so far a demo CD "Chapter One" released in 1995, a maxi CD "Seasons" released in 1997, and two full length albums: "The Now and Here Is Never" (98), "Ocean of the Lost" (01) and Decay (02).
		Floodland seem to be one step away from defining their very own sound.

		Floodland's manager Burn terrorised me so long that I had no other chance than to do interview with the boys of this almighty band.
		If we would have made a career by now I believe it to be more because of luck and the name Floodland is just a allegory for fugacity.

	Floodland (Sisters of Mercy)
		This was my first Sisters of Mercy album, and, as such, I have a soft spot for it; it's certainly not my favorite work of theirs, but that doesn't really mean a lot in that every LP they released seemed to have caught them in vastly different periods of their overall sound.
		Floodland shifts the emphasis from the struming, harpsichord-like guitars of their previous album to driving basslines and echoing, snare-heavy drum rhythms; in fact, the percussion, at least in my opinion, seems to be the focus of it.
		Floodland is just a slightly different taste of the band, and, typical to them, interesting, catchy, cohesive and satisfying.

	The Sisters of Mercy: album reviews and ratings
		Floodland isn't quite goth, it isn't quite club, it isn't quite rock.
		The keyboards are kept to a bare minimum, and the baritone voice of Eldritch is clear amid the storm.
		Sure, the sound quality on all of the tracks is not up to Floodland, of course, but there's a lot to appreciate here.

		Floodland is the greatest work from rock's most neglected talent.
		Forget the ball and chain 'goth' tag and instead concerntrate your attentions upon the work of a lyricist whose subtext's have subtexts and a (very) dry humour all of their own.
		Floodland goes some way to prove that Andrew Eldritch is one of rock's most underrated talents - though some would claim that's his own fault.

	Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy CD
		Though the stylistic focus of the album varies from the chilling piano balladry of "1959," to the battering ram, chamber-of-horrors hypnosis of "Lucretia My Reflection," FLOODLAND is probably the band's most cohesive and accessible album.
		Featuring dark brooding vocals from Andrew Eldrich, lush synths and irresistable dance beats on most songs, Floodland is no doubt the best album The Sisters Of Mercy ever released, and one of the best albums to come out of the 80s.
		Sadly, the Sisters Of Mercy couldn't match the creativity of Floodland and were never as good again.

	Sisters Lyrics: Floodland era (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Floodland marked the return of The Sisters of Mercy, though in a much changed form, and many of the songs are contemplative in nature, viewing with Eldritch's trademark objectivity the wreckage of the previous few years.
		Hence, the floodland is the flotsam and jetsam of these twin apocalypses.
		This is also a comment on the difficulty Eldritch found in conforming to the idea of being part of a couple.

		Denn Floodland erforschen auf ihrem schnell verzehrende Wirkung zeigenden Drittklangträger in mutiger Manier bisher von dieser Band unergründete extrememotionale Gefühlsebenen höchst tragischer und überaus verzweifelter Natur, in welche jede der zehn neuen Schwermutskompositionen als sanft eingelöste Eintrittsfreikarte dient.
		Man kennt diese elegische Form entrückten Musizierens von in etwa vergleichbaren Acts, als die hier Sisters Of Mercy oder auch Fields Of The Nephilim genannt werden können.
		Deren musikalische Vorgaben werden von Floodland in unleugbar eigenständiger Weise und intelligent modifizierend verarbeitet.

	Daily Vault - October 11, 2002
		But just listen to some of these huge choruses, complete with layered, overdubbed vocals, fluid, imaginative guitar riffs, danceable beats, and operatic choirs, without ever losing that slightly dark edge, thanks mainly to lead singer Andrew Eldritch's stunted, forboding bartione.
		A minor additional fault of Floodland is that while during the first half the intensity builds up really well, it reaches the peak with "This Corrosion", which is the midway point, and the second half is considerably less energetic.
		The remaining songs aren't bad by any means, but they are all slow, very very darkly sombre excursions of heavily synthesized ambient keyboards.

		Zep Up to the Plate: Floodland goes back to the future for its new Led Zeppelinderived sound.
		With the indie release Conspiracy A-Go-Go, Floodland has staked its claim to Led Zeppelin's high-decibel blues and Soundgarden's postmodern angst.
		It doesn't sound like a good idea, but Floodland does a creditable job of rummaging through yesterday's riffs for material.

		If you liked Vision Thing and Floodland, be aware that this does not have the same production quality of those later efforts.
		However, the Sister's power and energy are still there, and Andrew's vocals are steadfast, except for on a couple songs like The Damage Done (where he sounds like a deranged Elvis), one of the worst songs on the album (along with Home of the Hit-Men).
		I remember La Nausee [amazing club that was in Montreal] playing at least one song from Floodland pretty much every night in 1991, but even as fl and foggy as that club was, they rarely played the songs now found on Some Girls Wander.

		While the goth scene in England was picking up commercial steam in the mid-'80s, the Sisters of Mercy may have seemed quiet, but they roared back with 1987's Floodland.
		While the earlier Sisters releases were noisy, sometimes harsh affairs, Floodland is filled with lush production (thanks to Meat Loaf writer/producer Jim Steinman and the New York Choral Society) and lyric imagery that is both scary and glorious.
		The slower tracks, like "Flood" and "1959," are some of the best ethereal sounds goth has to offer, and the downright regal "This Corrosion" is one of the best songs of the genre.
