My favourite Sisters covers

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.

Freestylers Happiness is a dancey kind of cover which is probably the right word given how much the sample is used.

None of the covers really grab me
I like this one though I'll admit it's not for everyone:

In addition to that SKOS by Unwoman, these are my favorites.

Adrenochrome and Heartland by Lymon Willis



Lucretia by Warrel Dane


Nine While Nine by Mark Sinnis


When You Don't See Me by Mark Wilkins
(this seems to be gone from YouTube)

Corrosion by Diane Birch


NTTC by Cradle of Filth (yes I actually like it)

Yeah I should really have linked to that one, instead of or in addition to the BoT remix. It's alright.
These days the SKOS cover in my play list is the mainstream one from Mist of Avalon.

Those others are a fine list of covers indeed. Mark Sinnis is the only one not in my playlist and honestly it could easily be.

One of those lockdown videos that was all the rage 3 years ago, and I think they did a really good job of it. I came across it way back then, but for some reason never noticed until today that they were all wearing sunglasses in it.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Great list. I especially liked the Mother Russia cover.

I'm going with the (industrial I guess?) cover from Headtrip Inc.
I'm a fan of this. I just tend to like songs that I can understand 1/2 the lyrics. :) We used to have a whole club dedicated to Industrial music. Miss it.

That sounds good. I recall some earlier stuff from you some years back, and I feel like this is kind of a big leap forward on the vocal front (I don't mean that to sound bad; you just sound more... comfortable, I guess?). Your voice also really reminds me of someone else, but I just cannot place it.

Oh I'd love to know who, if you manage to put your finger on it! I have an unconventional voice as far as I'm able to discern.
And thank you for your kind comments. Gosh, those were really almost a decade ago. Time's odd.

Thanks man, the main criticism i got for my romeo down cover was that the vocals were too hidden in the mix. Thought I'd try out the other end of the spectrum
