Fly & Collision Of Comas Sola

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.

I'd never listened to the track (apart from at gigs obviously) before so I thought I'd have a listen.

Fly & Collision Of Comas Sola by Tangerine Dream

I was wondering, is the version used as an intro a different mix or has :von: bastardised it with a drum track or soemthing? :?

I don't think they have used Fly and Collision since the 90s..?? It's for example on the widespread bootleg of the London (Forum) gig from 1998, but already at Mera Luna 2000 they used a different intro.
I think the current intro (some sort of jungle drums?) first came around 2002.

Yes I'm also confused sometimes about what they play, I suspect they have only really made like 5 songs because many are so similar:
Mother Russia-On the wire
Romeo Down-Neverland
Arms-Flood II
etc.
:innocent:

So they say also about Vivaldi, that he only made one song which he varied a little.

I believe you're correct. "To The Planet Edge" Tour, 1999 I believe, was it's last usage.

I thought the same thing, in 2008, mixed in with some Bowie and Stooges and stuff that was being played before the intro music kicked in. ;)

I still think there would be interest in the SSV stuff surfacing with drums and louder vocals. :von:
