Who else is still around? Nostalgia

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.

From the ancient tome of knowledge:
http://faq.tsom.org/discography_credits.txt

Of all the people on this list, all are gone from Dominion except me (the one person listed without any address), and my friend Trevor.

Laura Lemay, who used to run the Dominion list back in 1990 went on to better and brighter things. I hadn't seen her since a KMFDM show in 1994.

Anyone else here been a part of the Sisters 'net community since the stone age?

It was all Ian Grimstead round here in my day folks (7 years ago). Then the Black Planet, then Dominion, now here. :D

I'm on that list. Long long time since I seen it, but I have happy memories of helping to compile it with fellow Dominionites back in 90/91 ish.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I'm guessing that he had his name legally changed to a more sensible one.


I'm too ickle to have been a Sisters fan since 1990 (I was into the likes of NKOTB back then!), but RESPECT to the hardcore few who've kept the faith for so long.
bet you had no idea back in 1990 that 13 years later, you'd still be waiting for a new record!

You're not serious about NKOTB, are you?
We could do a survey of most dramatic musical conversions: I used to listen to A-ha and the Pet Shop Boys. Do we have any former Donny Osmond fans out there? Anyone have fond memories of Kajagoogoo?

It's interesting to see how many of us had ridiculous .edu e-mail addresses back then.


I hadn't seen much out of Wim in about 5 years, but I used to trade with him. He used to have a Siouxsie/Sisters page that was pretty good.

Think he still has one. Btw. the Dentist is Clif Duhn. He has the best knowledge of Sisters boots going. Well, used to. Anybody seen Wim Vandeputte about lately?

.edu makes sense as most of us had internet cnnections through our universities. Private email accounts like hotmail or yahoo were not as common. -bat used to give the demographics of the list periodically, but after a while it was overwhelmingly .com, so we could no longer tell too well the countries in which the members lived (although there always were plenty of .be addresses :wink: ).

I am not on the list. I first joined dominion in the fall of 1992, I think. It was about the time of Some Girls, but definitely before Under the Gun.

There really was no such thing as the WWW in those days. It was all email and stuff, some really horrible protocols. I remember my email addy was all screwy cos I couldn't email direct to Dominion and had to relay through another host - they actually allowed that kinda stuff back then. More innocent times.

Ahem.
I'm not a dentist, but I work in the field of dental research.

You must, of course, be Karst De Jong from the Sisters/m*****n lists.
Nice to see that some of us still remember each other. :)

Wim Vandeputte. I just remember his sig strangely: "Jack of all trades, master of none."

Wim was spotted at a few gigs on the last tour (Deinze and Amsterdam spring to mind).

Heh. Thought that that was you! Wasn't it Sven Togni who started calling you the Dentist?

Most certainly are. Not been around as long as you though. :) Got onto Dominion back in '95/'96 in those bluescreen Telnet days.

Oh yes. Btw. what about that collection of yours? Checked into the weeding section yet :wink:

Wim used to be quite vocal. Certainly when the Tobias Dorf thing was happening around the time of Event Horizon.

It's quite funny, and a little sad, that this is being discussed on here rather than on Dominion.. ;p

I'm not sure. It was probably one of those crazy Belgians though. :)

Ah, the Tobias Dork fiasco. Such good times. :P

BTW, you can find more names from the past here, down at the bottom of the page. Adam/Nachtgeist, Ewa Zaleska, Nik Froggin (sp?), Ian and Valerie Palmer, Tony Back.

IIRC, you were the one I got Wayne's e-maill address from so I could tell him about the Black Planet photos.

Despite what the page says, I never got my replacement set. :(
I bet THOSE would sell for a pretty penny on ebay.

I wonder whatever happened to my Swedish trading buddies Machael Krammer and Par Svensson.

Why? This is the place we can talk s**t about the people on Dominion without it erupting into a flamewar that would fill up my inbox. :twisted:

I remember Tobias Dorf too. Whatever happened to him? Washing up on some tide somewhere I would imagine.

Heh. Did you ever get any of his discs (did anybody for that matter). for those who weren't around, Mr. D. decided to sell some of his recordings which he made of soundchecks and concerts to recoup some of his travelling expenses on Dominion. Needless to say that that didn't go down to well.
cocoamix wrote:Adam/Nachtgeist, Ewa Zaleska, Nik Froggin (sp?), Ian and Valerie Palmer, Tony Back.
Jeez. Where have all those people gone, eh. Think Ian Palmer is about, and seem to recall Tony was on the M!sh list. Not sure though. Anybody ever heard from Ian Grimstead after he abandoned his homepage at Cardiff Uni?
cocoamix wrote:IIRC, you were the one I got Wayne's e-maill address from so I could tell him about the Black Planet photos.
Yeah, that isn't working anymore btw. He has moved to Brazil now, where is current wife is from.

Didn't Par do one of the Arkiva discs? The guy from sisterstrading.com now seems to be the one to business with.
