Finally listening to the "last" version of FALAA

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.

You know, the one with Blood Money, Poison Door, etc. Not too bad so unsure why people seem to be unhappy with the production :?: At least :von: was releasing material back then :lol:

who? when? why?
product is great, sounds at least 10 times better than so~called remasters version (CD) from '90, better mix, plus bonus songs.

Agreed. I have to admit I am stuck in the early to mid 80's Sisters sound

Damn, how else can they f with this record? I will stick with the version I have. Btw, for some reason I have FALAA and 4 different CD versions. I am sure that pales in comparison with other addicts on here, but does seem a sad waste to me :roll:

Why do people seem to have such a dislike of FALAA? This was the record that cemented them in my heart ;D

Because the early singles were so damn promising (Alice/Floorshow! Temple/Heartland!) the album could never top that.
To me Some Girls Wander By Mistake is their best album 8)

Apart from "Why oh why doesn't :von: release a new album ?", that is probably one of the most discussed questions on HL these last few years. I suppose we have to make our own fun these days.

Nope, bad stage snoud and lack of a full-time bass player have been discussed more.

Yes I am an Heartland bore.

Plus, after the utterly electric atmosphere at the 84/early 85 gigs bred by the live versions of many of the FALAA songs, many of us felt that the recordings lacked balls, texture and depth.

I think that the reason for all the discussions on FLAA is because we have so damn little material to talk about :) Three albums and some singles, I mean c'mon it is pretty slim considering how much we like do dissect things.
