New Songs, aquiring thereof

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.

Hi,

I'm new to heartland, I've been reading for a while now but I have finally been pressed into creating an account.

If the answer to my particular question can be found anywhere else please point me in the right direction.

I would like to find good quality mp3 recordings of any/all of the new songs (except we are the s...). I havn't heard any of them yet (except possibley live, I don't remember the new ones they played) and I'd like to put togther a sort of compendium of new songs to listen to. I'm sure there are things on youtube etc, but you can't really hear whats going on due to the poor quality!

Any help would be appriciated.

Danke

have a peek in the "sharing" section if you have a fast web connection ;)

or if not, have a look in the "weeding" bit...

others will be able to point you in the general directions of which gigs contain good versions of various tracks, but i'd recommend the brussels 2006 (day 2) recording as a good starting point...

oh, and welcome to HL 8)

Tis indeed from Violator... I don't think its ripped off, its just a simple picture of a rose that (for me at least) has become iconic.

It was a VERY good album.

Aye, welcome aboard.

The "Some Songs Still Wander By Mistake" collection is still available, and it's a good way of getting them all together in a single download, as well as a few choice covers and alternative versions (no Blood Money though, boooo!)

http://myheartland.co.uk/viewtopic.php? ... sc&start=0

From there, you can pick and choose from the other recordings.

But do beware, it can get seriously addictive. :lol:

Seperate tracks cos it's from various sources. Quality is pretty good on most of them, but much much better versions have become available since (Brussels, for inst.) To be honest, pretty much any recording from 2003 onwards will easily net ya 90% of the new ones.

I've - um - mislaid my Brussels (converted to MP3 for my walkman and deleted the originals, actually :oops: )

If I remember - and no-one else steps in between now and then - I'll kick off another download from DaD tomorrow morn and do the necessary.

Will let you know.

Well, the bad news. After almost 11 hours of downloading, it was still at 0%. That's the prob (well, one of them at least) with DimeaDozen for ya!

As Mr Green (the original distributor of this gig) has requested that it not be converted to lossy format, and I intend to honour that request, can somebody else help out here please?

Well, I worked out how to get them off the share thing and unpack them all *pats self and smiles with childlike glee*

Any higher quality songs would be great...I used the some songs..mk.2 package. But thanks for all the help.

Yeh, fast connection, but really it's not me that needs it, it's Maisey.

Then the same question above applies for Maisey...
Except by the above post I would say Maisey worked it out.... :D

oo yeah, :D I aslo got hold of the SSV recording. Not so much actual music as an oppertunity to have a cool and rediculasly long band name on my artist list.

They were definatley dribble but kinda cool in there own primitive way.

New songs are ok (apart from suzanne which I love) I think they would sound a lot better properly recorded and produced and mixed and put on some kind of removable media storage disk..anyone care to disagree?

Oh and just so you don't have to keep typing my name out I will make myself a bit more gender specific. Its Robert Maisey, but Maisey is always fine. I have on countless occansions been confused for a female in many humours and soul crushing incidents, but I am a he. Hope that helps!
