Ofra Haza article

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.

As a poster on the Guardian page said - Not even a mention of Temple of Love '92.

I dare say that if it wasn't for that record we would never have heard of her & I dare say taht there are probably a lot of Guardian readers who still don't know who she was.

RIP anyway

Oh, there are very many people who know Im Nin'Alu ...

With her death, Israel has lost much more than a singer and started to turn ever darker ... very sad.

Looks great ... :notworthy: :lol: ...

But, IMHO, by far not a person like Ofra.

Simon Mayo was on Radio 5Live a bit ago talking about the g-word and the Sisters, and he mentioned that he once interviewed Eldritch (do we have that interview?) and that he asked him why he'd recorded with Ofra Haza, and he said that his answer was unbroadcastable but that he got the impression he liked her very much. :lol:

It should be available for listen again here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04gk6c4
Not available at the time of posting but says available soon. I made a note that it was from around 15:20-15:23, so it should be around 1h 20 into the recording when it's available on the page.
