Andrew will shake his tailfeather for...

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.

Yep, definitely very Joy Division, I always thought. Novelty, now there's a kick-ass tune.

a middle class, white, sample-laden "hip hop" group. short lived, but perversely enoug they name-checked by a few famous musos and journos around at the time... i had that album for a while - i thought they were pretty dodgy actually. :urff: ok, so thay had lots of samples from very cool films, and some of the synth/guitar tunes werent too bad, but the vocals were shocking. :(

:roll:
In Q November 1993 issue in which Andrew presented some of the standout albums from his collection btw he said that: "Heart Of Darkness is such a fabulous album...It does have a very European mentality and sounds like a shiny,American,kinda hip hop thing - as hip hop was understood five(*said in 1993!*) years ago,not now where it's not at all shiny - but I think it's got a very European wit to it.And it was the first album to have all your favourite vocal samples from Blade Runner,Robocop and Terminator I.Great tunes,which are sadly lacking in most,in inverted commas,dance music today.There's a few tracks on it which sound a bit Opus III-y,not good at all,but everything else is rather fine." That made me think to get this album but I just couldn't find it anywhere because it is out of print now.I just want to hear it myself to be able to make the right decision,to get it or not to get it.You know,the ways of thinking are different from person to person. :wink:

Hooldum Priest is patchy but it is free and you can always sack off the the tracks you don't like, LOTS of bass and a good dark-boudoiur vibe in the closing tracks. oh and the definitive Blade Runner track.

If i were 12 year older i would probably know more of the other stuff all i can say is Madonna :urff: give us a break!
I am kinda guessing that Von has more than jsut this selection in his collection...come on where's jive bunny and Aqua :innocent:

I only like Bowie, Joy Division, Zeppelin & Motorhead from the tailfeather list. As someone said previously... where's all the metal! :twisted:

I like Robot Chris' fave smells in the 'What We Like, Miscellany' section... tarmac, superglue, tippex & petrol. :lol:

Considering the most recent album on his list is from 98 .It makes me wonder what will he shake his tail feathers for these days?

Anybody care to guess?
