One of the pivotal moments of my young life was seeing a video on TV by The Sisters of Mercy for Dominion from the album Floodland. I recall a goateed Andrew Eldritch poncing and posing around pyramids with a sword cane. Anyway, for a laugh, I thought I'd see if it was on YouTube. Inevitably, this turned out to be true:

It's funny to think just how cool this still looks, even if the pyramids turn out to be the equally cool city of Petra in Jordan. (You may recognise it from the last Indiana Jones movie, no The Last Crusade, silly). And even if there was a full beard and not just a goatee and moustache. Still some things remain so 80s it's unbelievable. At points early on I'm reminded of Bladerunner.
