Monochrome-A tribute to the sisters of mercy album ?????

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.

artist it says here-The House Of Usher,or at least for this one track playing at the moment-its Adrenochrome by the way.
anyway,ive not come across it before(the "tribute album that is),altho the title Monochrome rings a far off bell somewhere.its the Usher thing thats thrown me.through all my searches of the remixes and covers etc,the house of usher has never come up,and the only usher i know of is some m.o.r,mtv rap artist.
so,wondering if anyones got this album of covers for a start,and what i'd have to do i order to own copies either cd or file share.please?? :?:

Monochrome is both a bootleg album and a cd of early stuff :von:


some nice guy, posted the catalogue numbers to all of the tribute albums way back when :roll:

you should find them after a quick search on

monochrome, first and last and forever etc

btw - jim thirlwell doesn't like the sisters, he downloaded the first track he could find on the web.........and covered that :von:
Just remember this. This rabble you keep talking about does most of the working, paying and dying in this community.

I have this Monochrome and 3 more Sisters tribute albums, at least one is still missing.
but, to be true, most of the covers are not something you could call great :twisted:

I have one House Of Usher CD, the only time I've ever seen anything by them. Bought it purely out of interest, without a clue what to expect - they could have been death metal for all I knew.

The music is good, if a little derivative. Very Sisters 84 ish, with a good bit of Catastrophe Ballet-era Christian Death mixed in. The vocals are a complete Ian Curtis rip-off. The whole thing however is done with far more energy and enthusiasm than your usual rip-off merchants, so I'll give it a thumbs up.

The very idea of anyone covering Adrenochrome is weird - it's like someone doing a version of Hey Hey We're The Monkees really, isn't it?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

nope. they made a cover of 'neverland' by the m i s s i o n, from the album with the same title. it can be found on the m i s s i o n tribute cd 'forevermore' (équinoxe rec. / efa)

i would recommend their first, 'stars fall down' or their third, 'cosmogenesis', but they are all worth buying / listening. under 'special' (on their homepage) you can download a full live concert from london and some songs from leeds, did you found this, too ?

i think Serendipityhaven was asking if anyone can provide her with a copy, as her trade went pear-shaped... :)
