M.K.Ultra, info please

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I've just acquired a promo cd of M.K. Ultra - This Is Is (9 tracks). There's no artwork, just the disc.
Anybody know what the tracklisting is or where I could 'find' scans of the cover. Cheers :)

Not the same MK Ultra as these then: http://www.mkultra.com/html/band.html

I wonder is this any relation to the famous "ambient industrial techno with intelligence and tunes" diversion that Von (allegedly) took round about this time? See the virgin.net interview for more info on this one.

Probably worth noting:

It's all about God. All of it.

Even the stuff that sounds like it's about drugs.

Thanks for your replies. :notworthy:
I take it that this was one of Mr Ray's side projects then.

Well, it's always possible that he wanted to best James Ray, but from what I can tell, aside from releasing it, Eldritch had nothing to do with This Is This.

We all know Von has spent the last 15 years talking a good record. Industrial groove machine blah de blah de blah... yeh, and so is REO Speedwagon :roll:

Meanwhile someone else actually MADE one.

In answer to Jande, it wasn't a side project, it was just a project-project - and there's countless others where that came from :)

Aye, it was a great day Mr Ray, it's a shame I can't remember a great deal after the pic's, apparently there was pubs, curries, Taxi's and all sorts :oops: :lol:

I haven't sent anybody any Marc Almond songs.

I've sent a friend of Mr Ray's (who seemed to be looking after his email address) two songs, not Tierkreis, that she said she'd make sure he would get.

I won't say much about them. Suffice to say either I'll get an "I like them", an "I hate them" or "You're sued" from the good man.

What's wrong about Marc Almond? He's one of the favourites of my younger daughter (well, not as big favourite as Teletubbies :innocent: ).

Have you ever seen him in the same room as the Bronski Beat? :innocent:

For this very reason I wish they were one and the same :von:

Nowt wrong with him. Buying "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret" at the age of 12/13 was one of the best decisions I ever made. ;D
