A ‘90s Goth Rock Classic, The Debut Album From CHILDREN ON STUN, Gets Deluxe Reissue Treatment!

London’s iconic goth rock troupe, Children On Stun, were formed in 1991 by vocalist Neil Ash, guitarist Peter Finnemore, bassist Simon Manning, and drummer Simon Treen. The quartet quickly rose to prominence in the underground dark music scene, touring with Rosetta Stone and issuing several well-received demos. But the band’s breakthrough occurred when it signed with U.S.-based label Cleopatra Records and released their debut full-length album, the lush and driving Tourniquets Of Love’s Desire, in 1994. The album became a landmark in the early years of goth rock’s third wave on the strength of such standout tracks as “Cat’s Or Devil’s Eyes,” “Sidelined” and “Beginning Of The End.”

Now this seminal work is getting a deluxe re-issue on both CD and, for the first time ever, on luscious vinyl. The album has been sonically updated with a complete digital remastering while the artwork has been meticulously recreated with band photos. The CD comes packaged in a sleek digipak with bonus tracks from the Celibacy & Anadin EP, includes remixes by another goth icon Rosetta Stone, while the vinyl comes in limited edition RED & BLACK SPLATTER.
