New feature

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Fantastic, I love this line:
a little object of desire that involuntarily caused your feet and hips – and especially in the case of The Sisters, the elbows - to move

wasn't there another ellpee called Fudland and a saucy Goth bass playing Priestess or summat?

Thanks for the link :D

For me, however, this article falls quite short of the expectations it's headline attempted to raise ... sorry for that.

Of course, there's been a sheer endless number of far worse such overview-assessments ...

from that point of view ... :D :notworthy: ... (and anyway, I couldn't do it at all ...) :wink:

But, I really can't see where the author does not intermingle with the usual clichés ... :roll:

This might, however, be due to the fact that I've always misinterpreted the Sisters at large ... :lol: :lol: :lol: ... Heaven knows ...

This is the kind of 'music journalism' that belies all the other rubbish. I salute you, Mr Marszalek! Image

Would that I had any qualifications to even attempt it. And I'm not exactly unbiased... :lol:

there's so much smoke, rumours and random intelligence surrounding The Sisters it's no wonder

part of our addiction, I guess :| :D :lol: 8)
