a re-issue that many people were waiting for. as i really just started getting into type o, this one came in quite handy. "bloody kisses" was one of the most commercial succesful full length releases of the band and gained a cult status throughout the years. therefore original copies from 1993 don't sell for under two hundred bucks at the moment and even re-issues from the late 00's can fetch up to one hundred euros. way too much for me, so i can just say thanks to music on vinyl for this slick pressing right here.
musically this is an awesome piece of goth tinged metal. or is it even metal? i don't know. what i know is that this record makes heavy and dark music feel light and easy, and in this lies its sheer brilliancy. "christian woman" is such a fantastic opener and in its full length way better than the edit version, i know from "the least worst of" comp i bought earlier this year. the rest are no stinkers as well, by far not. from the laid back "summer breeze", over the ironic "we hate everyone" to the beatles homage "can't lose you", this record is perfection.
this music on vinyl edition does the album justice. the records are housed in a wonderful reverse board gatefold with a lovely haptic and is made as a replique of the original, which is just my taste. even the old roadrunner logo was used. instead of printed dust sleeves, mov came up with a lovely booklet with some extended artwork. as an extra they threw in an art print of the cover picture. sharp presentation all around. heavy duty silver double vinyl, numbered and out of 6.666 copies. music on vinyl. 2018.
