Brightman, SSV revisited

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.

Who recites Nietzsche's "Vereinsamt" on Sarah Brightman's "How Can Heaven Love Me?" - Eldritch or the credited Frank Peterson?

Why would Eldritch misspell Drug Czar as "Drugsar" on the SSV "album"? The pun escapes me.

Is Drugsar a reference to Drugsar Inc, the people that have some relationship with His Last Parade (www.hislastparade.co.uk)? They seem to be big fans of the Caslon Antique font, Sisters-y artwork, drum machines, weirdness in the lyrics, gun references, and they've been around for a while.

Drugsar Inc's missives are put out by one Andreas Daschau - could be a deliberate mis-spelling of Dachau, as in concentration camp. Written on the gates of the camp is the legend "Arbeit Macht Frei", or "Labour sets you free". Free from what? Perhaps free from the "moribund relationship" with East/West. Alternatively, Daschau could mean "there - look", as in "Look what I've been doing since leaving East/West."

Just call me Grassy Knollington... :roll:
