Notes
Re-release of the Children Of God album and The World Of Skin compilation as a combined 2xCD. These albums were originally attributed to Swans and Skin (2) respectively but are here largely branded as released by the former (although some versions of this compilation reissue are less ambiguous about the origin, none seem to make any specific allusions to Skin (2) as an entity at all).
On this edition of Children Of God the song "Our Love Lies" was replaced by the acoustic version of the same, originally released on the CD version of the Love Will Tear Us Apart EP - and the track(s) "Damn You To Hell / I'll Swallow You" taken from the B-side of the New Mind 12" was added as bonus.
"The Man I Love", originally included on the 2xLP version of the The World Of Skin compilation but already dropped from the original CD release, is missing here as well. The lyrics of "Breathing Water" have also been slightly shortened compared to the original version.

- M.Gira messed it up as usual. Besides replacing the original version of "Our Love Lies" with its (later released) acoustic version, "Sex, God, Sex", "Beautiful Child" and "Children of God" were shortened by several seconds with earlier fade-outs and "Trust Me" faded directly into the brief interlude at the end.
- Edited 2 years agoIf you are not familiar with the band buy this double cd and start to be addicted to one of the most fascinating bands in the world.
Children of God has richer production than the older swans cd"s (although I also love Holy money. Greed. Cop and Filth), on this cd you can hear their melancholic folk style , this music style can be used as a soundtrack of Horror Western movies, such as these tracks (Real love ,Our Love Lies ,Blood and Honey, You're Not Real, Girl), the tracks In My Garden and Blackmail filled with tenderness and transmit sadness and beauty, you can also hear their aggressive style in tracks like: ( New Mind,Like a Drug, Beautiful Child)
World of skin music transmits hypnotic and scary atmosphere, there is addictive melancholic feeling which accompanies the whole album, Jarboe and Michael Gira extraordinary vocals connect perfectly with the experimental synthesizers sounds and to the dark folk ,the music and the vocals create an atmosphere of Horror Western movies in tracks like
(Cry Me a River ,Breathing Water, One Small Sacrifice, I Want To Be Your Dog).
Favorite tracks:- Cry Me A River .Breathing Water. Nothing Without You. We'll Fall Apart . One Small Sacrifice. The Center of Your Heart.
These discs were issued separately but became very rare ,especially The World Of skin collection.
The original issue dates (Children of God (87) and World of Skin collection 88).
