the purpose of the "new" 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.

I wonder what purpose Von had when the "new" songs were written around 1997. Was it to one day record them, or was it to renew themselves for live gigs?

This series of independent singles was due to start with a stonking (of course) version of 'SUMMER'. The music to 'SUMMER' was written by Adam Pearson. The words were written by Andrew Eldritch. It's very pretty, and probably very cruel. It goes like a freight train painted in the shiniest yellows and blues.

We planned to add another version of it (Adam supplying remix and Kleenex), and a third track which should have been one of the other new songs; we didn't decide which one. It might have been something you've heard us play live; it might not.

What with one thing and another, this was not to be. Sorry. We are working on an album, inter alia, but the matter of single releases is currently on hold.

I think the "record news" section on the official homepage is mainly there to p*ss people off! The following lines are particularly annoying:

"it seemed reasonable to bang out a few singles" --> where are they?

"This series of independent singles was due to start with a stonking (of course) version of 'SUMMER'" ---> where is it?

"We are working on an album, inter alia, but the matter of single releases is currently on hold" ---> probably not true
