Honestly, sometimes he acts like he owns this bloody place.

ah, he may own the place, but bux is "sisters chat" editor and owner of the final decision...i'd very much like to hear his opinion on this thread, eh readers?

god owns this place so ranks over bux. Quiff Boy can do whatever the f**k.he.pleases because this is his baby. The derailment within these walls "allows" for god's dog-that-was (still alive) comments.

now behave ~ and carry on....

oh -you meant the quiffmeister was god...naaah -i've met our boss and he's definitely real, and not a figment of mass-hysteria brought about by the inevitability of death and the fear of oblivilon.
and i was merely pointing out that our chairman could entertain us with stories of what he thnks eldritch was/wasn't doing in 1995 thus bringing us back on-topic.

Because of the missing essentials like the Dok and Andrew's vocals?

No, probably because it was recorded in an actual studio as opposed to with a cheap microphone and a minidisc at the back of a concert hall

mr. marx is entitlted to be in control of his own product and make/waive a fee on it. if headcleaner2k has no respect perhaps a mod could remove his post? :evil:
we do not bootleg official products (albeit unreleased) on HL, in open forum, without the artists permission. mr.marx has been very decent about letting us have free downloads and sometimes it's nice to shake the hand that feeds you. :von:

That's why I put out feelers first - seems like morality and artist loyalty still exists here. Good.
Out of respect for Mr. Pearman and his efforts I'm not about to waste my time uploading something that will in turn waste your time.
Square.

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 wouldn't have come into being at all if I was just pursuing my own musical interests at the time, and clearly Andrew's stamp would have taken it miles away from where I finished up vocally/lyrically had he chosen to be involved.

The solo album Pretty Black Dots is still available from www.garymarx.com and news (including how to purchase a copy) of the 1995 And nowhere disc will re-appear on the same site next week.

I assumed they'd all heard it or about it first time round so was slightly surprised, but anyways, rather than reply to each of them individually I figured a post from your good self would be more time efficient if you're happy to act as my mouthpiece.

I will post information on www.GaryMarx.com site in the next couple of weeks and make the album (or a revised version of the disc) available for a limited period.

As you may or may not recall the seven tracks didn't constitute all the draft ideas I originally mailed Eldritch way back when. I got a little lost within the process of finishing them myself (sharing some of the fans' frustration of what it could've been with the intended singer onboard) and simply curtailed the vocal sessions when I thought there was enough material to give a decent indication of some of the material's potential.

'Clearing out the attic', as is my January habit, I decided to have a go at finishing at least one of the other tunes. I'll let you have a snippet for airing on the site as soon as its done (e-mailed direct from the mixing console in Farsley!).

Depending on how I feel after re-treading unfinished business from 95 in 2007, I may play Dr Who again (Eccleston rather than Tennant obviously) and complete the rest. If a revised version does become available I'll offer people who bought the original a discount, or a download option on any new tracks - God, he's a nice guy.

I also intend to write another email to you with a reminder of what I believe the album represents, in response to the reviews and comments bouncing around on the forum. This will doubtless cover some old ground but perhaps offer a new dimension to the discussions. It is obviously not the Sisters 4th album and it is not the 2nd Gary Marx solo album - but you know that already.
