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.
Apologies if this has been discussed previouslty, but does anyone know anything about the current Sisters intro music. It's listed on my Pukkelpop boot as 'Spacetime', but I haven't seen this anywhere else.
There is a full recording of it on the glorious Frankfurt 2003 bootleg, and as a track itself it's marvellous. Sits in yer head for days. And has now displaced Gift as THE Sisters tune to get stoned to.
I was wondering if it might be from the legendary Leeds Underground material? It certainly comes across as the sort of techno with intelligience that you'd expect from
Any ideas? Or facts?

There was a track called Space Time on the Shaman's Boss Drum album. It might have been the one with Terence Mckenna rambling over various ambient noodlings, or possibly something about "A fusion between the concepts of space and time ..."
All very deep - but not as much fun as Ebeneezer Goode!
I've seen it listed as Spacetime too. Maybe the idea is (a bit like having s**t pop music playing before the gig) that the audience is so desperate for the beat to kick in that they go wild when the first few notes of Temple of LOve start (or whatever).
I really liked the twittering noises subsiding into what sounds very like Hawkwind's Hall Of The Mountain Grill at the start of the Philadelphia 97 boot.

I tried the DCD link last night, but it wanted me to pay for it, now how shocking is that?
Pay for an mp3? OMG... I prophesy disaster.

A reliable source told me that the intro that they used for the tour 2000 and the new intro that they started to use 2001, is some songs from vons obscure techno project.
Andrew Eldritch Dour Festival 1997: Yeah, We take any request... As much as we ever do.
Listening to it, spacetime that is, loud and on repeat is kinda hypnotic. I did that for 15 mins before I noticed I had the cd-player on repeat. But by then I was hypnotized and couldn't do anything about it.
I've also heard that it's a Von production from a "intelligent techno" project.
Cool. I figured it probably was one of his own. Techno with tunes and intelligience indeed, it would sit quite happily in the Narcotic Suite IMO. And it is certainly hypnotic, with or without herbal accompaniment.
When is someone gonna leak those damn techno albums of his?
