Still Sacred, still brilliant

Shakespear's Sister's success was, sadly, short-lived. Their first two albums remain late '80s/early '90s masterpieces. I prefer this, their debut, which is full of catchy pop confections. From the seductive opening track, "Heroine", to the hypnotic title track, to the classic "You're History", this album rarely misses a beat. Even the cover of Bob Marley's "Could You Be Loved" works. Siobhan Fahey's deep, sultry vocals combined with Marcella Detroit's sweet, high-pitched voice made a perfect combination. Too bad their partnership didn't last longer, but we're thankful for "Sacred Heart". Highly recommended for '80s junkies. April 23, 2007

Sacred!

Two ladies with voice- contrast show us
a dark pop- collection with interesting
sounds. "Run silent", "Dirty mind",
"Sacred heart", "You made me come to this"
and the Bob Marley- classic "Could you be
loved?" are the best ones on this
well- made collection. October 7, 2002

Sacred!

"Sacred heart" is an interesting album of two interesting
ladies. The different voices build a harmony and fit
together very well. Fahey's voice is a killer and
underlined by Detroit. The best tracks on the album are
"Run silent", "Sacred heart", "Dirty mind", the Bob Marley-
Cover "Could you be loved?" and "You made me come to this".
Siobhan Fahey (former Bananarama) and Marcella Detroit
(former Marcella Levy) show us a nice pop- collection
with dark sounds (more impressing in the 92-Album "Hormonally
Yours"). October 7, 2002

ONE OF THE BEST LATE 80'S ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!

I found out about shakespears sister when i saw the video for "you're history" on a static filled television. although i could see very little the song caught me! Lead singer, Siobhan Fahey, was originally in the pop group, Bananarama. Her own sound and lyrics are a complete change from the sugar pop of Bananarama. Run Silent, Dirty Mind, Sacred Heart, You're History, Electric Moon, & You Made Me Come To This are among the albums best tracks. Not only is the music good, but siobhan is a hell of a performer...You won't be disappointed!! Get this classic cd! September 26, 2001

Truly Remarkable

This kind of music is not found in a lot of music these days. The way they sing, truly remarkable. February 21, 2001
