The Sisterhood - Gift

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 have some 320 bit Mp3's but the overlapping tracks get chopped and it ruins the flow of the album.

I suspect I'll just have to do a Flac rip of my vinyl copy

Interesting. :D To think that when I bought mine it felt like an act of mercy, redeeming that poor silver-disc from the prospect of spending an eternity on the shelves of some ... some ... place.

Isn't whether your player makes a slight pause between two mp3s just a function, and you can somewhere change it?

If it's not, it should be, agreed! ;D

I really like Giving Ground and Rain from Heaven.

The ablum is decent as a whole, quite a synth/sampler based affair. I personally don't think its as good as the main Sisters offerings.

Is that the happy-go-lucky dance version, with horns, jazz hands and more cowbell?

You know, it never really got to me that "Colours" from Gift is different than the one in Floodland. I was always ":von: you may trick the record company but I know it's you singing Colours". Of course, I had only heard the Floodland one.

Has anyone heard about the other existing mix of Finland red? How come that hasn't surfaced yet, maybe it's time to start raping Von's friends' houses one by one until the bald motherfukker decides to hand it down lest we rape his much beloved mum. And are there any other techno albums that sound like Gift vibe-wise?
