I've just listened to the song and it has two vocalists. One's voice is mixed too low so it's hard to hear it. I figure the voice that is mixed low is Andrew's.
Could this be the start of a new Sisters' project?...
I doubt it, Andrew's just being a cock tease!

Dear all,
We must apologize for not responding more quickly, but our presence was requested at an out-of-town speaking engagement over the weekend, and Internet service at the conference hotel was rather poor.
That being said, we confess a degree of surprise at the (nearly) catholic lack of appreciation for a quite glaringly obvious joke. Well, Eastmidswhizzkid seemed to get it, anyway. And Sultan, you’re alright, too. Points for the correct identification of our fake Eldritch sample.
Unfortunately, jokes aren’t nearly as funny when you have to explain the punch line, but here goes: The relative merits of the song are completely beside the point (though we’re pleased that a number of you of took some enjoyment from it). We could have sampled our cats and set it to a break beat, for all that it matters. The point is this: our cats would *still* be better than the official Sisters version, by default, because the official Sisters version does not exist.
Put another way: if we were attempting to market ourselves, or our own product, we would very likely have included a website, an email address, or possibly (perish the thought!) the name of a real band. Clearly, we did none of these things. Draw your own conclusions.
In summary, anyone can simply rant about the Sisters’ lack of productivity and dismissive stance toward their fans. We, however, are ranting proactively, through the time-honored practice of blatant copyright infringement (all done gratis, of course). Sort of like Gandhi without the shaved head, dig? We were (and are) illustrating a point, with as much snark and bile as our tiny little hearts can muster. Sadly, we know that no one can force Eldritch’s hand but, as Quiff said, at least we give enough of a damn to try. Even if we were huffing ether the whole time. Which we weren’t. Honest.
And for the record, Pearson and Varjak wrote the music. We think it’s a boring arrangement too, but you work with what you’re given.
PS: Sorry for all the words, but we haven’t yet worked out the kinks of beaming our thoughts directly into your brain. Maybe next time.

Chairman BOX, unlike Chairman Bax, is not watching you.
Although we, much like the BORG, are a collective-
excepting only that our brains pulse with funk, love, and napalm.

As mentioned earlier, I will get to work at getting those tabs online, because simply put, the guitar lines on this recording are f**ked.We think it’s a boring arrangement too, but you work with what you’re given.
Anyone know of a way of checking this? (I'm looking at you music-techy typesnick the stripper wrote:I've just listened to the song and it has two vocalists. One's voice is mixed too low so it's hard to hear it. I figure the voice that is mixed low is Andrew's.
)I've so far tried boosting the EQ towards what I'd guess to be Andy's vocal range and removing the lead vocalist from the mix. No trace of Mr E so far, but my hearing isn't great.
Excellent stuff all round. Well I'm assuming a bit on the tune as the download is so slow but we're getting there...
Christ we got there in the end, and it's................. not bad!
At least it "is", and that will do.
NEXT!
