Does anyone know anything about this track that I found recently, entitled as follows;

sisters of mercy- Emily (rare demo 85-Hussey and guest vocalist)

It certainly sounds like a Hussey vocal and a drum machine.

The first verse starts;

"Lost in a state of confusion, lost without a...(I can't make it out, possibly word)
Say that it's an illusion, something I heard"

and the chorus is;

"Can you hear me Emily?
Can you hear me Emily?"

both of which sound very m*****n(ish) to me.

Any thoughts?

Don't suppose you could post in on rapidshare.de for us to get a closer look?

I was hoping for that as well

Thanks for sharing. I have no idea where it's from, and I honestly find it quite weak. Where did you find it ? Are you sure it's not a m*****n demo ?

Interesting stuff. Where did you find it?

It's definitely in the style of FALAA-era Sisters guitar work, if nothing else. The vocals and drum beat are a bit crap though - I'm guessing Von had no input to the Doktor. The lyrics are Hussey or someone similar - not Marx or Eldritch, that's for sure.

Thanks for putting it online

Sounds quite odd indeed, Sisters-style of that era, and lyrically it seems like he tried to write it like would have.

Didn't succeed too well though, IMHO

That's what I thought. Has it been heard of before?

No problem. It does sound a little strange, but I quite like it...

Not as far as I know, I've not seen it listed in any collection of rarities, or as a commonly mistaken non-Sisters track like "Cry Little Sister".

I thought I'd not seen any mention of it anywhere.

I'm not sure what it is. It could easily be a m*****n demo, but it came with the above filename.

not heard the mp3 but the description doesnt sound familiar as a sisters demo, and at this late stage i doubt there are (m)any more unknown gems out there...

probably an early mish demo. maybe a mish fan (karst, taylor, rob keys, etc) might have a better idea?

maybe try posting it on rob's "wasteland" mish forum

Will do [it's like a wasteland over there]

It's not Hussey singing so I'd say there's no connection apart from some goffs desperate to sound like their heroes.

Must be Rosetta Stone then!!

Nah, gotta be the merry thoughts. Or are they only a floodland era tribute?

HA HA HA HA
NO MISH OR SISTERS AT ALL HA HA
WHO SING IT ? THE POSTMAN AT THE CORNER ?

And I suppose you consider the first Sisters single to be well sung?
