Day 0594 - Floodland

Sisters of Mercy "Floodland" (1987)

The Sisters bring Gothic glower... and a choir.

After their first album, a couple of members left the band.  Remaining member Andrew Eldritch then enlisted the help of Patricia Morrison (from the Gun Club) on bass and vocals, producer Jim Steinman (of Meatloaf fame) and a drum machine called Doktor Avalanche.  Together they created a relatively cold, brooding, but surprisingly 'to the point' goth-rock album.

Day 0428 - We are Family

Sister Sledge "We are Family" (1979)

Another album where soft-funk meets disco, much like Chic... not surprising as half of the musicians here backing the titular sisters are from that band.

I prefer this somewhat to "C'est Chic".  Those heavenly Sledge voices help, as does the fact this leans towards a more pleasing funk/soul fusion with only hints of some disco genre tricks.
