Personal Artwork

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.

The pics with Vons hair like that, at a glance I'm thinking why is David J

Well...

I assume you want honest critiques? Or just compliments? If it's just praise you're after please forgive me. But here goes: I think the artwork is pretty good. I like the way you've degraded the caslon antique font, and I think the composition of the (front) cover is very nice. I like the abstractions on the sides. But I have a few suggestions. 1) Maybe you ought to use some of the "new" font as well? I'm sure someone here could tell you what it is. Helvetica Neue maybe? As the songs are from between 1990 and 2003, the new font was used for about half that time if memory serves. 2) The title is verrry weak. This isn't a comment on the art per se, but wanky titles for bootlegs have always been a pet peeve of mine. Consider the obscurity with which The Sisters have always shrouded their drug references and maybe you'll understand my opinion (which is all it is). Also, I don't believe they (he) are still on speed, by the way. In any case, I find it pretentious and silly. 3) Some of the song titles are verrrry slightly wrong. (We Are The Same) Susanne lacks the parentheses, and "Schön" lacks the umlaut. 4) Perhaps a mention of the sources and dates for the songs would be helpful on the back if you plan to duplicate this artwork for anyone else? 5) The image on the back, while a good, iconic one, is super recognizable to those of us on Heartland, and makes me think immediately of the Administrator of the forum.

Dear Bismarck , thank you so much for your well-done review of the cover ...

I completely agree with you said , and I know the we are the same susanne comma, and for the "shon" ,,, but I don't care

I also know that the title is silly,,, but I'm silly SOMETIMES,,, lol

No I just made this cover , for me and too friends of mine , who are sisters fans too ,,, it's a PERSONAL cover ,,, for just 4 persons and no one more ,,,,

It's me and my friends who are "still on speed" lol
and also ,,, I chose this title because in the amphetamine logic live version which is on this boot, andrew sings "speed" and not "Sssss..."

( excuse my english ,,, I'm sorry ,,, mais je sais m'exprimer avec une grande élégance dans ma langue natale ;-) )
