Back To Basics - The God Squad

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.

On a dance forum I frequent someone just clocked I was a Sisters fan and referred to the aforementioned record, also detailed here - http://www.discogs.com/release/160290

Has anyone got mp3's perchance as this had passed me by completely?

I remain....etc

they have been tagged onto bootleg compilations before now so i'm sure someone will dig up the link for you ;)

God Squad Remix 1993

1. Floored (God Squad)
2. Keep The Faith (God Squad)
3. Beans (Floorshow Remix, God Squad)
4. More (Radio Edit 3.02)
5. More (Power Mix 10.53)
6. More (Groove Mix 10.53)

etc

basically its floorshow speeded up a bit with a bit of 120bpm early-90s "house" style production. not bad to be fair... done by a couple of the chaps from basics.

dave beer was one of the two (i gather he used to be part of the leeds scene in the mid/late 80s and was matey with eldritch) and i think the other was alistair somethingorother :?

That was for the White Label release the standard issue came in a back to basics sleeve and as mentioned earlier was used at launch party to A slight case. If you want MP3 files PM me and i'll email them out.

They're great songs. Not usually a fan of such music, but hey.

I also like covers of Sisters songs. Go figure.

A friend got the 12" in Nail (old record shop in Leeds) many years ago which was rather annoying of him. He's now married with a kid so I'm hoping to tempt into selling it to me.

I've got the Beans and Floored remixes on mp3 off Kazaa few years ago. If I can work out how to host them I'll put them up for download. They're not great copies though. Not entirely dissimilar to the Dirty Funker remix of Alice the other year.

Bugger. That Floorshow mix would slide very nicely into the new re-mix of "Everything's Gone Green". Which means I'll have to find the bloody 12" now :evil:

one of the better sisters dance remixes, but then it was done by someone with a grasp of intelligent dance and familiarity with the sisters, and not by a bedroom dj.

it even has official approval (& possibly input?) - eldritch gave it the seal and comments on it, and i know for a fact that gary marx had heard of it.
