Odd Von mentions at Discogs.com

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.

Quite possibly more than one of these is out for the 15 minutes of fame by association, either imagined or othewise.

9xDead - Excession - We Were Right [a dodgy darklings song written by Von? Bah.]

Empty Promises - Residue - Pennsylvania All Scars [features FALAA, apparently]

Tarwater - Rabbit Moon - Revisited - Mobile Home (vocals) [samples Dominion?]

It does sound a lot like him, but I don't think it's him (at least on the albums I've heard; I've not heard Rabbit Moon, though).

Noticed this about Tarwater:

Strawberry Shoes and Mobile Home recorded live at Volksbuhne Berlin for 13 steps to the atom in March 1997.

Live vocals, eh? Berlin would fit the bill, for what its worth.

I found the MP3. It has a date of 5th July 2007 on it, so it's possible that it was discussed on here around that time, although a search turns up nowt.

Stylistically, it's very ambient/electronic, with a squelchy drumbeat and lotsa bleepy noises. Very slow.

The "Eldritch vocals" consist of a very electro-distorted (almost vocoder-like) rendition of the main part of Mother Russia (from "We serve" up to "stuck inside...") at the beginning, then it goes off into noodling territory for the rest of the song. There's also some low moaning at the end that could be more vocals, or could be an instrument.

Overall it's nice, but not really earth-shattering. I'd put up a download but it's probably illegal...
