The Cult of Mercy is on a Mission.......2002-11-06

Before you get too upset with me, I'd give it 3 1/2 stars if half-stars were an option.

If you like 80's UK goth, this is your album. The general sound is Sisters/Cult/Mission UK. Mikael Korner's singing is a blend of Andrew Eldritch with Andrew Eldritch. On the plus side, the same song qualities that made those earlier bands so popular are in full effect here.

All the songs have wet rock guitar with lots of reverb, grim vocals and Jonas Elmqvist's hard arena-rock drums. Perfect for the dancefloor, but there's not a lot of variety among the tracks. "Sea of Dreams" is a slowed-down remake of The Mission UK's "Wasteland." At least change the bassline, guys.

These are catchy, well-produced songs with good beats and melodies. The singing strengthens the goth vibe. Still, if you own "Floodland," "God's Own Medicine" and "Sonic Temple," you already own "Oceans of Tears."

The sound of Funhouse evokes memories of the best of the smoky ambience from 80s underground music brought into a modern world. This disc includes a very convincing cover of "Body and Soul" by the Sisters of Mercy and I am sure Funhouse would be great to see live as they capture a lot of emotion and energy on this release. For fans of the Mission UK (think "Deliverance") and the like, this CD is a must have in your collection!

Cult meets Heavier Mission, with a Punk Twist.......2002-03-08

Funhouse are a band of Swedish rockers who are always up for a good time--from drinking cherry wine for breakfast to singing songs about the prettiest girls...Their music is psychedelic rock (think Cult "Sanctuary" era) meets Mission (not the lovelorn acoustic, but the heavier Mission hits) meets dark pop. Lovers of both danceable darkwave and good old rock and roll will find this CD the perfect mix of both. Look for them on tour in the states soon.
