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.

joli coup "Doctor D-Monic"
the sleeve design is nice
So at what point does this album stop being a set of rejected Sisters demos, and start to be a Gary Marx solo project
After all, it's a far cry from Pretty Black Dots, which I have to say doesn't get that many plays on my turntable. Despite Mr Marx being a stand up geezer , it's just not my cup of tea
Or am I trying to pigeon hole something that has no right to be pigeon holed, and should be appreciated irrespective of its origins

From the moment Gary decided to put his own lyrics to the songs and decide to record/release them.

Same here.

Yes.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.
My thoughts are based around Red Skies Disappear, it's effectively a rejected Sisters mix, despite the music being used in FaLaA. But imagine a world were the music to FaLaA wasn't used, & GM decided to release it later. Would it be a rejected sisters track or a GM solo track
Just had a thought around Where Spirits Fly, it became a GD song, irrespective of the Sisters demo I'll get my coat
I'm so bored I'm having a chat with myself, help me, please

from my own correspondece with him:
Gary Marx wrote:...because of the unusual nature of the project it was neither a Sisters nor a Gary Marx Album as such. 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.

Cool, so we've ended up with an unexpected bonus, like it, like it a lot
Oh, but I can be....sometimes. Just depends on my mood, the weather or the tightness of my underwear.

That is a bit of a tricky one. As Red Skies was written while Gary was in The Sisters, then I'd say yes. With 1995 And Nowhere, Gary wasn't in The Sisters, so I'd say no in this case.

No need for that.

Sometimes that's the only way a person can get an intelligent conversation. Except around here on a good day.
