As for uploading it: I do have the necessary disk space but my provider severely limits my upload (capacity and traffic) so that is not really an option. Maybe if I can find a solution I might upload it anyway. I'll keep in touch !

Yep, that's what I was thinking
So, the people that I will send the cd to will have to promise me that they will upload the files

Alice in Thunderland

Little groups are so prone on rolling in their own myth as The Sisters Of Mercy. The flag bearers of post punk didn’t publish a new record the last fifteen years, didn’t want to talk with to press and only performed by high exception. Even there Andrew Eldritch and his constantly changing group liked to hide behind a thick cloud of mist so couldn’t even see more than some thin silhouettes on first row.
Despite business going this bizarre way the Sisters have remained enormously popular and they even still get in touch with a new generation of fans. Mondaynight they had come from all corners of Europe the see the legend alive, but they might’ve had quite a shock when Eldritch came on stage from between the spitting smoke machines. His well known raven hair had (probably had to, Eldritch is 46 already) made way for a bald skull. As compensation he cultivated a goatee that had precisely been soaked in black dye. And above that the Sister still wore his traditional sunglasses. Which is slightly idiotic, around midnight.
Count a black biker jacket with that which made him broader than he actually was, and he looked more like a leather queer that had a couple of carriers with Judas Priest behind his back. Only the uncomfortably deep graveyard voice had remained though it broke several times, so it looked like the tortured singer was impersonating a hurt animal stuck in a rusty clamp.
Musically everything, literally everything, had stuck to the old. The songs of the Sisters mirrored, when first published, perfectly the spirit of the time. The cold rhythms came out of the drum computer, the guitars sounded hypnotic and transparent and the keyboards gave it all something majestic. Two decennia later ‘First and Last and Always’, ‘On a Wire’ and ‘Flood’ were no more than echoes from a long lost past, they came with the bombast of thunder strikes out of the speakers. Even ‘Alice’, once the anthem of a whole generation of new wavers, degraded on the spot to something you could call –just spit out the dirty taste- goth-metal.
Just now and then the atmosphere of the bigger days shimmered through. ‘Dominion’ as well as ‘Vision Thing’ that was saved for the encores showed themselves healthy, and recalled us why exactly we loved this group so much as a teenager. These moments however were to scarce to make the balance tip into the right direction. It was nice to hear Eldritch took the dust of his ‘Temple of Love’, but the building he presented in Lokeren was windy and about to collapse. So, after a while you were waiting for someone that would save Eldritch from the complete defeat by hiding it all underneath a soundproof blanket. Alas: No mercy for the Sisters Of Mercy.

Don't suppose you know which song they were playing in the last picture?

It's interesting to see Adam just singing and not playing his guitar

he should have listened to some recent boots, that way he could have agreed that this show was one of the best ever!!

You see, there was a reason why I did not post the group name

I removed 'em. They are now available on the ftp site of jenzi-benzi.

The full recording will be available there as well.
