The Mission is Captain Jack's first album, released in 1996. It features female singer Liza da Costa. Four singles were released from the album: "Drill Instructor", "Little Boy", "Soldier Soldier", and "Captain Jack".
The band's catalogue consists of nine main albums (God's Own Medicine, Children, Carved in Sand, Masque, Neverland, Blue, Aura, God is a Bullet and The Brightest Light) with several complementing albums, compilations and other miscellaneous releases also in existence.
History
Incarnation
After an aborted recording session with Andrew Eldritch in the summer of 1985, Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams left the Sisters of Mercy. Based in Leeds, the duo continued to work on various musical ideas and recorded them over the autumn. Dismissing the use of a drum-machine, Adams and Hussey asked Mick Brown (Red Lorry Yellow Lorry) to help out with the sessions. By the end of the year, he had joined the band on a permanent basis. With Hussey as both the frontman and principal songwriter, the trio required second guitarist to facilitate a live set-up. They eventually recruited Simon Hinkler (Artery) who also contributed keyboards and thus completed the four-piece. The name 'The Sisterhood' was chosen with a nod to past and rehearsals for the first shows started in January 1986. The new name quickly became a point of discussion in the English music-press, giving the four-piece significant amount of publicity. As 'The Sisterhood' the band made their live-debut on January 20, 1986 at the Alice in Wonderland, London.

" I, more than adore you
Naked, standing before you
Hold out your arms
And open yourself wide
Hold me dear
Bury me deep inside
Feel, feel the glow
You make me swoon
I, wanna turn you on
Wanna take you high
Sleight of hand
Slip of the tongue
Sweet, how sweet you taste
And the heat
The heat you make
You make me swoon, you make me swoon
I, more than adore you
Naked, standing before you
Hush, baby hush
Rush, here comes the rush
You make me swoon, you make me swoon... "

Arisen from the ashes of an early line-up of The Sisters Of Mercy and founded by Craig Adams and Wayne Hussey in 1986, The Mission established its own distinctive profile at a very early stage.
Apart from their very successful albums like “God’s Own Medicine” (1986), “Children” (1988) and “Carved In Sand” (1989) in particular, The Mission established primarily as a live act, making both Rockpalast concerts essential viewing for a fan.
Without a doubt, The Mission had its first zenith in 1989/90 when the band entered the premier league of rock with the album “Carved In Sand”. With “Butterfly On A Wheel” the band landed one of their biggest hits and live they were steadily turning into a celebrated stadium rock act.
This was exactly the time when the first concert of this set was recorded – during the “Deliverance” tour. The near original line-up is consisting of Wayne Hussey, Craig Adams, Mick Brown, David Wolfenden and Paul Etchells. Not only does the show at the Philipshalle Düsseldorf on November 24, 1990, reflect the tremendous enthusiasm of the band as well as the density of The Mission’s sound but it also contains all the recorded classics such as “Severina”, “Butterfly On A Wheel” or “Tower Of Strength”; and their congenial version of Neil Young’s song “Like A Hurricane”.
In the course of their career, the band lived through countless sheddings of skin and changes of direction. So it was constantly being inspired and expanded by the switching players. In this respect, this concert was recorded about five years after their first Rockpalast performance and is a good example of their versatility: Not only does Wayne Hussey present himself with a short haircut but from the original line-up only the drummer Mick Brown remained. Guitarist Mark Gemini Thwaite (Tricky, Peter Murphy), keyboard player Rik Carter and Bass player Andy Cousin (of All About Eve) had joined the band for this TV performance.
Despite the expanded line-up, The Mission delivered with songs such as “Hands Across The Ocean” and “Deliverance“. But the real brilliance is revealed with goosebumps creating interactions with the audience in touching ballads such as “Like A Child Again“ and a searing rendition of the song “Swoon” which has reflections of the Bowie classic “Heroes”

For years and years we waited And now the time has come To leave these barren lands Towards new horizons. No matter what has happened And what was said or done. Words are to be to forgotten. We will roam on! We cross the gates of darkness Into the black of night. We don't fear anybody: Got the second sight. We move a little further Towards the borderline. Before the dawn of day Our souls come back to life. And life comes back again. The mission's to fight to be free again. To stand our ground and to be immortal. This is our mission so here we stand. We have the right to be ourself again. They held us down for so long Our backs against the wall We didn't see a future, Did not hear the call. But now that things have changed Now that our fears are small We create a vision Face it - one for all. We cross the gates of darkness Into the black of night. We don't fear anybody: Got the second sight. We move a little further Towards the borderline. Before the dawn of day Our souls come back to life. And all I see, in front of me. Every step I take is bringing me closer to me! The mission's to fight to be free again. To stand our ground and to be immortal. This is our mission so here we stand. We have the right to be ourself again. The mission's to fight to be free again. All that we are is everything we've ever been. And what we'll be is what we are. All we are All we are All we ara Is everything we've ever been. The mission's to fight to be free again. To stand our ground and to be immortal. This is our mission so here we stand. We have the right to be ourself again. The mission's to fight to be free again. To stand our ground and to be immortal. This is our mission so here we stand. We have the right to be ourself again. The mission's to fight to be free again. To stand our ground and to be immortal. This is our mission so here we stand. We have the right to be ourself again.
