SISTERS OF MERCY "REMIXED"

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.

A FULL ALBUM OF CLASSIC SISTERS OF MERCY TRACKS REMIXED 2005 STYLE?

Best of luck, I say. If I don't like it, I won't buy it. But I'd give it a listen.

Judging by the quality of most of the Sisters-remixes i've heared so far: NO!

Well, maybe making them more "techno" than "dance." And more "gothy" than "overly techno". If you get what I mean.

And as for selling it, will you not need Merciful Release's permission?

I suppose it depends who the mixes are by.
Ultimately, like most of the people on this forum, I would far rather have
the "next" album than yet another retrospective release.

I keep telling mself that after 17 years I'm through with the Sisters, and
waiting for some phantasm of a release.
Yet here I am posting again.
And I know that as soon as the next live dates go up on the site I will be
reaching for my credit card and an old schedule of trains.

Doh!

Not even the sense I was born with...

Ugh!!! I hate and despise remixes.

Usually the band has no involvement whatsoever. Some jumped-up little runt with a turntable mucks about woith the song and hey presto, one remix that bears little resemblance to the original and with lots of stupid additional sounds added.

If the band themselves (the band in question being Andrew Eldritch. Any other band members are transitory and barely relevant) want a new version then I'd much rather they did it themselves.

Well, I'd rather they recorded some new songs.

I'd love to hear FALAA and Vision Thing remixed and remastered, 'cause the sound is pretty well arse, but I doubt that's the sort of "remix" you're thinking of.

Banging techno remixes please. ;D :twisted: :notworthy:

They've been heading that way live for a bit anyway. More EBM than goth. Thank f**k.

Finally downloaded your mix Izzy. Worth the wait, and all. I'm more than happy to hear people f**k around with history, so long as it's done good. :D 8) :notworthy:

Marvellous work Sir. May I recommend Temple at several billion BPM as your next project?
