Swans ‎– Children Of God / World Of Skin

Genre:

Electronic, Rock

Style:

Industrial, Avantgarde, Experimental, Ambient

Year:

1997

Notes:

Re-release of Swans album "Children Of God" and The World Of Skin compilation album as a combined 2xCD. "Our Love Lies" on "Children Of God" was replaced by the acoustic version originally released on the "Love Will Tear Us Apart" EP on this edition, "Damn You To Hell / I'll Swallow You" (b-side of the "New Mind" 12") was added. "The Man I Love", originally included on the 2xLP version of The World Of Skin compilation but already dropped from the original CD release, is missing here as well. Lyrics of "Breathing Water" have been slightly shortened compared to the original version.

While the cover of this 2xCD only lists Swans as artist, the CDs themselves (except for the digipak edition) read "Swans Children Of God" and "World Of Skin", defining the 2xCD as a combined release of two different artists' projects (which they originally were, see here and here).
