Did Eldritch do all 'female' vocals on early Sisters songs..

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.

All that stuff from Adam... how long since he left the band?

Yes, I remember in one of the old interviews he mentions that he does a good falsetto voice. There's also some falsetto on Gift that I suspect is him.

i sense :von: 's voice in some very small parts in Gift. I think enough time has passed to reveil that. Anyone else has the same feeling?

Throughout the history of recorded music people have been appearing under different names or appearing uncredited when contractually not allowed to appear, so if he's on there (not saying he is but it's possible) he wouldn't be doing anything revolutionary.

My brother was good friends with Maggie Reilly for a few years after we did some work for her. I was over at her house quite a lot and all that time never realised she had sung on Vision Thing, a wasted opportunity to ask some questions. I remember her partner talking about recording new material at home, I asked her if she used garageband :oops:

i feel your pain. :lol: look on the bright side, a wasted oppurtunity to ask some questions is also an oppurtunity to make yourself look an idiot/pain in the arse/both missed. just about the only "famous" person who ive not managed to look stupid in front of was Von himself (thank fuck- i'd have died if that had been the case). even Chris and Ben (both of whom ive met a few times) saw me turn up in time for the load-in at the back of Rock City, first thing in the morning, speeding my bollocks off after being awake for days, and ranting on about how this was my first time in nottingham since my ex dumped and what a fucking bitch she was etc etc. :oops: :oops: :roll:
