Synopsis

Product Description

Tristan Garel-Funk formed Snake Corps in 1984 out of the ashes of the (then) broken up Sad Lovers and Giants. He recruited singer Marc Lewis and started a successful musical partnership that lasted the best part of a decade. The music was direct as it was beautiful, dark as it was accessible. The band had a harder edge than Tristan s previous project but retained his distinctive guitar sound at their heart. Although never breaking through in England at the time they attracted much attention abroad and sold well not just in Europe but also all over the world. They have continued to sell records and attract new fans long after their early demise. This is a long overdue revamp of their 1996 best of, with specially designed new sleeve and revamped booklet with new sleeve notes and pictures.

CD Reviews

Not a great pick of an Amazing band, just the only one out!

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The Snake Corps are the best of a gone genre that includes The Chameleons, Blue in Heaven, the 1st Dead Can Dance album, middle period Echo, Killing Joke, Modern English, some Cure, some Tears for Fears, and of course the Corps guitarist's former band, Sad Lovers & Giants. This is what the Mission and Nephilum could have been if their singers would have let up on the Sisters of Mercy moaning trip. The Snake Corps is not goth exactly, something closer to the pop and sensitivity of Coldplay meets darkness and power of Killing Joke.This collection is missing most of their best songs like "some other time" and "victory parade". mail me for more info ---jeff@deco.net"
