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.

True. Shouldn't The Mix be in there too? It's full re-recordings of old stuff, not remixes, so it qualifies, no?
I don't think either of them are truly great albums but both have their moments and even a mediocre Kraftwerk album will always be better than many bands' best efforts.
(I voted for Man Machine, by the way, although, as I said on the other thread, Trans-Europe Express and Computer World are probably on a level with that album for me)

Most of the Sisters fans I know have an extremely varied collection taking in all types of music and don't fit any kind of stereotype. I can't speak for most Sisters fans in general of course.
I have all the Kraftwerk although I am not keen on their pre-Autobahn suff.
I have bootlegs, remixes and even "Trans-Slovenia"
The Sisters aren't goff they are "Industrial" so the similarities are there for all to see.
I voted for "Trans-Europa Express" - see they even try and sing in German just like Eldo.
Well you must know something

Most Sisters fans like The Ramones, Motorhead, Public Enemy, Suicide, George Michael and anybody else AE recommends
I concur!
(although had I hesitated, I might be tempted to go for TEE..)
If they had ever made a full album of Ohm Sweet Ohm, I would have chosen that
IZ.
Who knows - maybe there's a 'full' version hidden in the vaults! Until then, I found this live version on youtube yesterday which is just breathtaking...

I voted for The Man Machine album, but i think Kraftwerk's best track is Radio-activity.
Seen the Kraftwerk Robots tour at the Apollo in Manchester on the Friday 12th July 1991, one of the best gigs I have ever seen.
I go to gigs, and if there is any money left, I eat
