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.

BREAKING NEWS: NINETEEN NINETY FIVE AND NOWHERE by GARY MARX - 10 years after we released this album (sold out since years on CD format) and due to the non stop popular demand we have decided to re-release the NINETEEN NINETY FIVE AND NOWHERE project by Mister GARY MARX (founding member/guitarist of the Sisters Of Mercy, Ghost Dance ...), this time on a limited 12" vinyl format with a new artwork. Moreover the 10 songs were totally remastered and it gives a new and incredible perspective to the songs.

the label should send me a free copy, as "without whom" this would still be 7 rough demos on a screen-printed cd-r (if you were lucky and cheeky enough to have Mark send you one personally)....
...but i can't begrudge Mr. Marx the pennies in his back pocket really.
be nice if "king of the big black lies" was tucked in there somehow- i know it's not part of the 1995 project but sonically it fits with those songs rather than with the "pretty black dots" stuff.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

This is one effect of the resurgence of vinyl unfortunately. Smaller artists have to wait for pressing time while plants run off another 100,000 copies of Brothers in Arms or Sergeant Pepper's
On top of that, it record store day soon, so those plants will have been super busy pressing lame picture discs & goofy coloured vinyl that will end up on evil bay within minutes of the doors opening.
After listening to it a few times: good job by the record company, the sound is excellent compared to the CD.
In general, it´s one of my favourite records, and I think Gary Marx is an excellent songwriter. How the material would have sounded as a Sisters album. We don´t know and never will. would have written his own lyrics and would have done his own style of production work.
Any opinions on Mr Marx´ efforts?
