Great unofficial remix of Rain From Heaven

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 know a lot of people hear love the original version of RFH from Gift and the "Ben showcase" live version of recent years, but I wonder what you'll make of this latest remix from the same guy who did great club mixes of Marian, Flood II + Alice about a year ago :

He's also done a slower remix :

which is arguably even better. From the comments on the latter I note that @DocSommer is already a fan - always a good sign - so I thought I'd share the links here.

Cool! I like the faster one even better, and both better than the recent live versions .... :notworthy: :notworthy::notworthy: ...

The endings are somewhat unsatisfactory, but all in all ...
Hell, imagine a new studio production of the song like this with Eldritch's voice mixed slightly more into the foreground ... :wink: ;D ;D ;D

Exactly my first thoughts on hearing it. As :von: wrote the lyrics and music, there's not even the same issues that there are with the Pearson era stuff. Add in Still, Arms, Come Together, War on Drugs and Far Parade (!) plus a couple of the covers and that's yer fabled new album sorted !

Some new remixes/mash-ups from the same source :

Black Planet/Giving Ground http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdGPOsb4IVY
Suzanne http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15qqNLo816A
Train http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN-Xc_B9wkU
Heartland http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=en ... 6AhW4&NR=1

In the absence of live dates/new songs, this kind of high quality tinkering will do very nicely for me :notworthy: :notworthy:

I'm not sure you can improve on perfection, but this is a decent attempt at remixing Emma :

It's already been released - didn't you know? Comes in boxes of 10, with "Maxell" written on the front. :D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Too bad there aren't any vocals on this.
Only the Americans could have built a place like this in the middle of a jungle.
