Anyone else down with that..? Let's throw Elders a bone and announce we'd all happily take off his hands his collection of makeshift, home-burned CD-Rs of uber-secret tinkerings...originalgoth wrote:Being,
I wasn't complaining, I'm as happy as you & everyone else that we still at least get to see The Sisters.
If Von were to even sell CD-R's that he'd put together in his bedroom on a Saturday afternoon I'd buy them.
... and blindly, and wrongly, and with all the low views, and the high ones, I agree,it would've been perfect. Mute handle Depeche Mode and Nick Cave perfectly...they let them make the records they want to make.mh wrote:According to the official website (http://www.the-sisters-of-mercy.com/gen/faqnorm/faqnorm.htm):What happened to the 1991 truce with East West which involved Sisters records retaining WEA distribution in America (to satisfy Time Warner) and coming out via Mute (to satisfy the band - and Mute)?
We had to get away from Elektra, but we weren't allowed to move outside the Warner family. Mute was the only Warner-distributed label to have any interest in the band, and we liked them. We were getting on fine until the first Sisters/Mute record was due to come out.
Mute sent a fax to London, telling East West that East West's poor scheduling would damage the band in America. Nothing unusual (in our case) about the fax or its content. Unfortunately Mute sent a copy to Andrew, whereupon East West terminated the deal.
Since then the Sisters have had no representation in America. Having been on Elektra, we haven't really noticed the difference.

i think you're right. from what (little) i know of mute as an "employer" (or whatever a label would call themselves un respect to their signed artists) they seem open to creative experiments and generally supportive of an artist's vision.Paulito wrote:I agree,it would've been perfect.

What could have been.

they'd have been a really good fit at the time, before eldritch became fixated on the whole "i cant record an album because its too expensive and no labels are good enough" thing
They did a lovely job with Einstürzende Neubauten too, although am I alone in noticing that the thing these bands all had in common was massive, massive heroin problems?Paulito wrote: I agree,it would've been perfect.

Good point. Maybe Mute have an H dealer on staff.A_H wrote:They did a lovely job with Einstürzende Neubauten too, although am I alone in noticing that the thing these bands all had in common was massive, massive heroin problems?Paulito wrote: I agree,it would've been perfect.

Didn't Summer supposed come out as first single in some point?
Sisters Tours wrote:The stonking new singles
A single in April, "on the day after Mr Eldritch's contract officially expires" was supposed to release, as told in The Sisters of Mercy representative's mail to Dominion mailing list in 1997. According to Eldritch's interview for Orkus magazine in late 1997, the single was supposed to be either Summer or Come Together or War on Drugs, and was supposed to be followed by yet another one in June. According to what appeared in official Sisters site in early 2000, the first single had to be Summer (which "goes like a freight train painted in the shiniest yellows and blues"), coupled with either Adam's remix of it or an "orchestral version" of it (depends on which affiliated source you listen to) and one more new song. The site also mentioned that Sisters failed to release not two but "a trio of independent singles".

, so Adam would've had no claim on releasing them or not.
