The The Sisters Of Mercy's second album was titled Floodland.
Floodland and its accompanying singles This Corrosion, Dominion
and Lucretia were preceded by a Merciful Release press statement,
which can be found under A Short History.
The album was also accompanied by videos for This Corrosion,
Sandstorm/Dominion, Lucretia and 1959.
In 1989, the video compilation Shot was released featuring all these vids.
Some further information on the production and release of Floodland
can be found here in another Wiki (English), as well as here

Remarks
- There are differences in track times between the various formats.
These are most noticeable on Driven Like The Snow and This Corrosion.
- The 2006 reissue had, for the first time, the full demo version of Never Land.
In the past, a full length demo had surfaced, but that was an instrumental.
This new version comes complete with vocals.
- Emma was taken from the Dominion 12".
- Possible reasons for not including the other B-Sides from Dominion could be:
- 1. There wasn't enough space on the CD or
- 2. Sandstorm / Untitled had already been featured on a charity compilation CD in the early 90's.
