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.
whilst perusing the anorak section on the official site i came across this:
TSOM site wrote:We've created and collected a lot of "special effects" drum sounds, but we don't use them live because the sound would vary too wildly from song to song. It's not a practical solution unless you have everything ......running off a tape machine, like certain electronic bands we know . They might as well just play the record. We like a bit of risk, and we like to be able to tinker with things from concert to concert.
TSOM site also wrote:we wanted an identical spare rig, because cargo-handlers do more damage than the average military encounter, and we like to have one Doktor running while we're fixing the other. In extreme cases we can make one working Doktor out of two broken ones. We've never had to use the taped Doktor (DAT) which we carry for the ultimate emergency.
just so as you know.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
