They have indeed. However, if you already have one of the dodgy pressings, it would perhaps be more worthwhile to return copy number two and exchange it

Sorry to disappoint, but it's yet to be recorded properly. Whether or not it ever will be is questionable. However, there are several other "new" songs which you might not have heard which are available as live recordings in the "Sharing" section of the forum

Welcome to HL!
Go to the sharing section and grap the Amsterdam 2003 gig.
It has a great sound.
Besides that if you watch the record news section on the official site you can see that they
are working on an album. So be patient for a short while longer.

Now there's a commentry (as opposed to a review) on The Sisters that I can wholeheartedly argee with. Mind you, I am rather (pleasantly) surprised that Sutherland is Peak Oil aware. Sort of elevates him a little above the usual Pond Life.

Thanks for the review. As for the review itself, it said nothing at all and the style of alleged writing is simply contemporary with its usual splash of speed for those with an attention span of 0,5 seconds and mishmash of words and concepts conveying nothing really, least of all the substance of the albums which can hardly be contextualized with a few out-of-place comments about self-serving politicians. Bravo to the reviewer for mastering the idealized style of modern reviewer, and bravo for him being able to sell the good old 'don't belong' to the facile and futile. But don't ask me if i find something to applaud about it.
Terrible, truly. And a good reason for me not to subscribe to magazines and newspapers but rahter avoid them like the plague.

good but the sad thing is this is all written 'past tense'
will we ever see a new studio album?

Steve Sutherland used to be the editor of the NME. All things considered it is a reasonable review and Uncut is a reasonable magazine.

Are you serious? I can't tell anymore... your posts are hilarious.
Keep 'em coming.
As for the review itself, I thought it was interesting enough. Better than the few others I've read of the reissues, which all seem to take the "godfather-of-goth reissued for an emo-goth world" angle. I think Steve Sutherland has done some decent writing on The Sisters over the years. Thanks for posting it here. Anyone know if it's in the print version (newsstand version) of the mag?

Yeah, the very same.
Bloody typical though.
You wait 13 years, then 3 come at the same time.
OK, so it only took me over 3 months to think of that...

Doesn't everyone do that text size/placement trick to make something look offbeat/diy/original? Think of the Sex Pistols' album, for example--or the stereotypical kidnapper's note--as opposed to AOL chatspeak users, who also like to make their text lOoK DifFeReNt SiZeS.
A+ marketing skills, I should say. I know lots of Hot Topic kids (in America, that is) who would buy an album that looked like that.

Could be just JPEG compression playing havoc with it. Least that's what I thought when I saw it first. If they get that right, it's a nice classy minimal cover.

def. JPEG compression, you can see artefacts all round the type and it looks like the type has come from a different source as the heid, it's not even centred
