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.
It's a quite small thing, but an elaborated version of the minor chord major seventh riff from Confide In Me also snaked its way into War On Drugs around the time they were playing the Kylie cover.
If vampires played music, it would sound like this

yeah, the bassline and the chorus riffing are definitely inspired by it (although quite different in the end, SKOS ends stepwise on V for one). also the guitar part in the verse sounds a lot like that from ziggy stardust
i guess i was wrong to finger millennium as the source for arms earlier, since a similar static chugging riff appeared in tons of songs before that...
Not that I think it is a case of riff stealing, rather coincidence, but I'm currently spooked at how similar the first 4 notes of The Church's "An Interlude" sound similar to the first 4 notes of Blood Money.
Well, they are the same 4 notes, but the whole sound is VERY similar…
It's true that the resemblance is shocking, they're not just the same 4 notes, but the same 4 notes played the same way! It's not as if there was on one hand these 4 notes played quickly on an electric guitar and on the other and, the same ones played quietly on a bassoon...
And so THAT's why Gouge Away felt so familiar!
But to be honest, I'm starting to think that so much music has been written that it's hard to write something that doesn't sound, even just a little, like anything else.
