Recommended works of Sisters ex-members

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.

if you are talking about B.A.D. and S.S.S. Carbon/Silicon can't be ignored.

The Broon record isn't bad per se. It's perfectly competent. Honestly, though, I think it's rather dull and forgettable.

Not quite an ex-Sisters member, but James Ray's various projects are definitely worth a listen.

Screw you, I was on tour around the South Island of New Zealand and I played the Keepsakes 2 CD retrospective and my tourmates loved it. :notworthy:

Loving hearing all the James Ray love... also loving that he's got everything he's seemingly ever done available for free on his website. You the man, J Ray!

(Plus that reply he made to the question on these very hallowed boards re how he feels about how great Sisters music is -

Mr.E can only dream of doing something as intense as 25men

Ghost Dance " Gathering Dust" & "Stop the world"

and "1995 and nowhere" are great IMO!

I heard some hour ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFd62noJZnM Sigue Sigue Sputnik and their works seems very interesting .
loved that song ;D

Also Bruhn's (Broon) record have some interest but it lucked some in vocals :)

Marx has some things very interesting to hear ;D

Broon has done some really good stuff in my opinion, a great bridge from the sisters to the more 'neo' goth stuff, if you like the cruxshadows or screaming banshee aircrew or stuff like that, definately a few light similarities

i think my favourite of all 'ex-sisters' is Ghost Dance though

I don't get the James Ray lurve. Over-rated IMO and no-one would give a sh!t if it wasn't for his (tangential) connection to The Sisters.

I understand, and I felt the same way for a long time; I think this is because I'd never heard any of the live recordings. The one live recording I've heard--from 1993, found at Circle's blog, I believe--absolutely floored me. Other than the the Without Conscience 12-inch, most of his studio stuff doesn't hold a candle to the live stuff. It sounds quite weak in comparison. I've still not heard 25 Men yet, but I did think the 4 songs I've heard from James Ray and the Longfolk were spectacular (and not just because of the Simpson's sample).

Or maybe you just don't like it. No sin in that.

I just don't like it. I saw Gangwar live back in the early '90s and... wasn't exactly blown away.

Just my opinion though, and I'm aware it's not shared by a lot of folk on here.

Wouldn't worry about it markfiend - if there's a reason Ray can afford to give his entire back catalogue away for free, it's probably not 'cause he's already made so much dough off it he's been able to retire to his own private Caribbean island... :innocent:
