A Slight Case Of Overbombing

Though nobody knew it, what seemed to be a standard but sharp greatest-hits/singles overview when it appeared in 1993 turned out to be the last album Andrew Eldritch formally released, despite any amount of live work featuring unreleased songs since. Covering the years on WEA in specific, Slight Case works backwards through the singles rather than chronologically, so the two post-Vision Thing singles appear first: the moody melodramatics of “Under the Gun” and the far-bigger-sounding 1992 remake of “Temple of Love,” featuring Ofra Haza on further vocals.
