Well - i'll try to translate the things i wrote at the poison door-forum in November 2004:
Black Eyed Faith
Not bad, but it does not work as an opener. But it grows.
1995
The drums sound very much like "The Reptile House EP", even the song would not fit into that old Sisters-record. But I really like it!
Dumb
The weakest song of the album. BUT: I found myself humming this song after hearing the album for the fifth time
Default
Really great! Imagine THIS song well produced and with Andrews voice - well, the voice he had in the early 1990ies...
Zapruder
A killer of a song. As good as Body Electric IMHO, the most classic Sisters-Song on "1995 & nowhere"
Sound And Sound
A Ghost Dance-Ballad. And it shows that GMs songwriting-abilities
really developed since 1985. Very unusual in Sisters-context.
Blindfold
Not the highlight of the album, but it's ok IMHO.
It takes some time to get into it - especially Gary's voice. The whole experience is a bit frustrating: How would these songs sound if Gary and Andrew had really worked on these demos?
Of course, if you listen to it for the first time, it sounds too much 1983-85, but hey: these are 13 years old demos, recorded with a cheap drumcomputer (Pandora? Doktor MkII?), cheap 1983-guitar-sound and well - i don't think this can really be called "produced"...
"Zapruder", "Default", "Sound and sound" and "1995" are really cool tunes I would really love to hear on the next Sisters album....
Oh, ahem - next Sisters album?
Where's my doctor, i need my drugs - NOW!!!
