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.
Just watching the Lucretia My Reflection video today on You Tube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikGu1eyd-BM ) and wanted to ask if anyone knew about any history behind this one?
It looks like it was filmed in Mumbai (Bombay at the time) and Patty was doing a trip around town on a local train while Andrew was apparently running a sweat shop .
Pretty sure the yellow top taxis are only in Mumbai so that is why I ask.
Which beach did Patty wind up at the end, was it in Goa, and what were all the kids saying to her as she walked down the beach.
Was it filmed in India and if so does anyone knows and did Patty have to use a squat toilet

Related to this single released a couple of years previously? Dance the Ghost with me?
Tower Of Strength also had a Bombay Mix. Then again, that cnut always uses stuff from other peoples songs and passes them off as his own. Like the song itself...

yeah, and directed by eldritch himself
'59 is the best sisters clip, so maybe he should find work in hollywood
you must be joking, right? It is fairly obvious that this video is done by someone who has absolutely no clue at all about video-making. Eldritch may have a lot of talents, visual art isn't one of them.
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

seriously. this is my poor translation of the polish interview from 1991, pleas forgive me:
...
i: what makes that sisters is again a rock band?
e: i bored of keyboard.
i: poor thing couse one of our favorite song is 1959.
e: this is my favorite song too. i wrote it for one girl from belgium, isabelle. i was trying later compose something similar but is impossible.
i: we like videoclip.
e: perfect! i directed it myself!
...
sorry canon, but i must disagree, maybe after black planet, this is for sure the best sisters clip
oh Lachert, I wasnt doubting the slightest that Eldritch directed this himself. Au contraire, it looks quite amateur-ish. My "are you joking"-remark refered to your suggestion, Eldo should conquer Hollywood.
And btw, why does have a penchant for sleeping side-kicks? First Wussey in the Black Planet video and now Patsy dozing on the Grand Piano? Is he fearing that they "outshine" him, when they're awake?

I think someone once mentioned that if you're asleep in a Sisters video you won't be in the band for the next video...

ok, you punished me already...
so the moral from it is like that: if you want starring in good sisters clip you need one sleeping person but will be better if it isn't be your own ass

they will have thought:
'oh, look there's a leather-clad, skinny corpse in shades running down the aisle of our cotton factory, he must be a spy from underworld'
