SSV

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.

What am I missing?

Thoughts, please.

Nice. At a push. With a gun to my head. Cocked.

It's almost a bit early Suicide-y. It could almost be good. Reworked and with drums.

this "album" sounds like an soft porn;what you need is a drum to push the songs higher and higher...

To free him from a contract and allow him to record and release music again?

I did not see any artwork from SSV in the gallery. Is there any interest in images of the standard cover and cassette from the old xoom.com site? If so, I can try to put them in the gallery. In all, I have four images from the old site saved.

aye, go on. why not... its not copyrighted surely? :lol:

i've seen dodgy boot versions (a bad photo of von with bleached yellow hair and shades, with a dodgy font used for the title) but the "official" artwork (as it were) might be of general interest.

It's as good as Brian Eno - Music For Airports.
It's good chill out music IMHO.

They are .bmp images, so I could not upload them. Saving them as .jpg or .gif did not work either. The four images are 84 KB, 145 KB, 99 KB, and 733 KB. Should I send them as attachents by email?

Hey Martin I still have the versions you emailed me. I'll convert them bmp to jpg and upload them.

Just out of interest, what is the correct running order for this LP??? I've seen so many variations...
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I am glad that they got to you. I am not sure what was up with my uploading attempts last night. It took over an hour to logon to the net last night, so the problems may have been with my connection.
