If you like drum machines

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.

That was class, including one of my favourite performers as well; John Foxx cheers.

ULTRAVOX were the band I really fell in love with (Foxx era only) - waiting for Amazon to deliver the new box set to me today!

a shame tr606 and DR550E aren't covered. herr doktor was a 606 first of all i believe.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

The inner geek in me would like to see a pictorial timeline covering all iterations of the Doktor..

I loved reading about the machines running DOS 3.3 and the need for SCSI back when the website was new and had fresh content added.

I have the originals and first generation CD reprints so I will probably give the box set a miss. Now if someone could just show Von how mr Foxx took a long break from recording and came back all guns blazing :). I think a lot of the post break Foxx has been some of the best of his career.
