Two thoughts after reading the band history page on Sisterswiki

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.

OK I hope Chris won't mind me saying this but one time a few years back I directly asked him about the "no new Sisters record" thing. I can't remember exactly verbatim what he said, but it was along the lines of "with Eldritch you should never say never." Whatever that's worth.
He did a relatively lengthy interview recently which contained something of a post-mortem of his time in the SIsters, and he did actually confirm that work had at once stage commenced on a reasonably serious attempt at recording something releasable. Whether that means they were working on demos or got beyond that is unclear, but it's possible that in your above quote he was simply been referring to the fact that some new recorded material does exist, and may feasibly released some day.
i have no doubt that there will be fine working demos which are borderline releasable of the music of all the unreleased songs just not with any vocals.
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!"

That's certainly the impression I got from Chris.
