"While we're waiting for the next one to arrive!"

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Heh, I'd kick your ass, and have the sampled crowd cheering for me. ;)
I'd take your ass, mangle it through Reaktor to create a sick Venetian Snares/Aphex Twin Hybrid, then feed the remains to the crowd and sample their being sick on the dancefloor :twisted:

Us Belgians should stick together ;)

AND as a former Black Metal bandmember, my imagination is almost inexhaustable on the "gore and innards" department! ;D

Oh, and I put a fiver on Dark ;D

I have been silent on the downside about the output so far (because it has been very high - Mish and Raf), but that is definitely required.
And stick yer 'vs' up yer 'Erses, let us get project#1 finished! :evil:

Ye can do aw yer other bollocks after that. :|

Just wait. I have 5 songs in the pipeline, which will (hopefully) kick everyone's asses back to 1991. ;D

Expect an online version later next week once I get the damn vocals right.

Noted, and list updated. :notworthy:
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Added to the 1st post. :notworthy:

Very very good, actually. The HAL samples at the start were a nice thing. I still don't like the song, but that's more a fault of the song itself than it is of your interpretation, which is mighty fine, and - dare I say it - is another candidate for the "Beat that Von" awards.

I don't see any problems with the vocals - maybe you're being a bit too hard on yourself?

I am just wanting to re-record the vocals with a little more gusto and Andrew's revised lyrics.

Otherwise, I am damn happy with the instrumental arrangement/sound.

Hi Methedrome, had a listen to your version, and I understand exactly what you mean.


The vocals sound like someone just singing along with his iPod on his heid. Very gentle, not much bravoure, a bit afraid to wake up the neighbours baby, or so it seems ;D

Maybe sing it again, stand some way off the mike, and give it yer bestest shot. Could also do with some room reverb IMO...

But the instrumentals are ace! Don't alter a thing there ! ;D

I have tried re-recording the vocals, but they are just not getting any better. I have remixed them and it sounds a little better. Will post an updated (and hopefulyl final) version soon.

I quite like the vocals as they are. They sound very laid-back and detached, which is a nice contrast with the snarly music.

After much prevaricating and some time wasting, behold the Todashi cover of Still.

http://www.happobiken.com/Still_rough_demo.wma

However, it's not finished - it's missing vocals, so there's the deal. If anyone thinks they can

a) figure out the mumbled words found on the bootlegs doing the rounds and

b) sing in a semi-decent baritone, feel free to add a vocal track.

Simply record it as a Wav or Aif and send it back to me to be mixed in and finished. Bingo.

Otherwise, this will have to stand as some sort of instrumental. Muchos Kudos on this must go to my mate Quintin, beat master and all round boffin extraordinaire. I merely plucked the strings . . . he made them sing. or growl. You get the idea.
