Up till 1991, The Mission (known as The Mission UK in the US) continued producing solid gothic rock albums, influencing a generation. In 1992, their album 'Masque' introduced a drastic change in style, moving towards more pop-oriented tunes and stripping down the gloomy elements of their previous work. Craig Adams called it quits in 1993, and was replaced by former All About Eve bassist Andy Cousin. Two more pop-rock albums were released in 1995 ('Neverland') and 1996 ('Blue'), both of which contributed to the alienation of their early gothic fan base. In 1997, The Mission UK were no more. In 1999, and following other major gothic band reunions, like Bauhaus, Fields of the Nephilim and Garden of Delight, Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams reformed the band for a major world tour. This DVD combines two VHS videos which were released in the early 90's and which have never been released on DVD before. Waves Upon The Sand was originally released on VHS in 1991, this 60 minute film follows The Mission through the second half of 1989. It shows them recording their album "Carved In Sand", touring Scotland and headlining the Reading Festival. This is not a documentary - it shows a modern rock band at work in their own unique way. There is over 35 minutes of the band's music on the sountrack, some of it unique to this film. Crusade, also released on VHS in 1991, is a live concert recorded in 1989 and contains 12 stunning live tracks.
