Child Of Light, aka demo version of Nine While Nine

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.

i shall ask again, in its own thread... :)

anyone ever heard this?

It had the working title 'Child Of Light' and contained a line which mentions 'the children of the dust...'

When we were deciding on a title for FALAA I pitched that one in even though it didn't seem likely the lyric would surface on the finished version. Quite reasonably the Von pointed out that we were over egging the 'something of something' being called The Sisters of Mercy after all.

I think I mentioned nabbing some of the words for a later Ghost dance song ("A Deeper Blue").
so, anyone heard of it/heard it/got a copy of it? :?

Previously mentioned in passing as in here? ;)

I'm sure someone'll be popping up in a second or two (Loki?) talking about how he may have heard something, but he won't tell us what. :lol:

I've heard the title mentioned before but the possibility of their being a demo recording is news to me. But then most things on here are.
