New songs (old question, I'm sure)

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.

Obviously, seeing as how there are no soundboard recordings post-early 90s, I will do the best I can based on these recommendations. Then, I'll weed the collection. Sound good?

anymore for any more?
There are already some cover compilations. With the exception of Comfortably Numb and the new Emma/Uptown Ranking, I'm trying to stick with new originals. If anyone else wants to undertake the very ambitious endeavour of gathering the best covers, be my guest, but I fear I'm already in over my head trying to assemble a new songs comp.

Love is the law in these situations :kiss:

Anyways, dead_cowboy, are you going to master this compilation in any way or just leave it as is?

That depends whether I was quoting Crowley directly or by proxy of Von ;)

I was going to leave it as is. Unfortunately, mastering and the like is a bit beyond my capabilities. If anyone wants to step up, though, feel free.

I would say: try to use as few different sources as possible. If the whole CD sounds more or less the same, it will increase the listening experience. If you could get all songs in good versions from 3 or 4 shows you could create more of a "whole"... f**k, it's difficult to explain this in English!

It is completely, 100%, NOT a cover.

And one of the few new songs I like.

For those interested, I am still working on this new songs comp for weeding. I just decoded the 30 March 2003 Amsterdam show and I'm waiting on one more source. Obviously, given the varied and innumerable versions of these live tracks, I'm just going to go cherry pick from like 3-4 different sources to get the best overall. Once I get one more disc that's been weeded to me, I'll put it together and weed the thing.

Anybody knows if "Driven Like The Snow" has ever be played?

I like "Come Together" followed by "Train/Detonation Boulevard" best, which were constantly played between
1997-2000 tours.

But, "Come Together" on "EXXile In Euphoria" is the best

I think "War On Drugs" sounds a little bit similar to "Ribbons" in terms of darkness with sisters flavour.

I come across it on several bootlegs, but almost of which has low sound quality. (too much echo, distortion and son on). Which bootleg has the best performance?
