What is Go Figure really?

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.

Actually, I have a promo copy of the Moody Boys' "remixes" of Trancentral which is pretty dismal. :urff:

Whereas the Moody Boys remixes of WTIL are stonking. More submarine noises! You can never have enough. 8)

I don't have a friend who has a friend who knows friends of Eldritch, but I can clearly hear the version with drums in my head, and yes it's true.

Paul, is it a record which came out with a sleeve or just with a transparant plastic around?

I have never ever seen it with a sleeve. Transparant plastic. That's right.

Transparant plastic only.

I also have copy with only one side printed. The other side is white.

I was at a record fair last week and there were 2 copies for sale. Don't know the prices, but they pop up quite frequently. It is definately worth buying, not for the music, but for the pd artwork :wink:

True !!! :wink:

I saw a couple of BE's some years ago at different fairs. BE isn't actually really a catch, since there are still enough copies in circulation. Never saw DD at a fair though, only a japanese fake which I bought just for completing my collection.

Argh. Can somebody please post a link to where ever you can download Go Figure? I know everybody is just going to say "Its not worth downloading, dont bother" but you understand, my curiosity will not be quenched until I at least hear how bad it is...
I must hear it! Please, a link! I cant find it anywhere!

:D A "Remix SSV with drums and whatever else" contest is in order I think! I'll upload for whoever needs it. Give me a day at most. :wink:

I did remix Highschool ages ago before I knew a thing about music. For my lack of ability, it was okay. Don't have it anymore. :lol:

is there a version with drums out there? i have a vague (so probabaly drug-indudced and false) memory of such a version that i downloaded and discarded- but that could have been the standard one without drums as i didscarded that too.

I think that some of the usual suspects claim to have a sooper-seecrit extra-rare-trades-only copy with the drums. Your milage may, as ever, vary.

You could put your own drum track on it.
Just pick one at random. Honestly. It really won't spoil the original.

Best version I've heard doesn't have any of the drums but has been gently remixed to carefully remove the synths and vocals. Ambient perfection :innocent:
