Anybody know what the tracklisting is or where I could 'find' scans of the cover. Cheers

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.
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.

I added that. Arf.

So "A love for your country, for the drugs you're taking" = "God failed. Really. Acid time!"

Nothing about cars then? Pah!

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

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

.

Just like Depressed Merde!

Never heard of them, anyway Claire, where's Tims photies at the Dry Dock of me shooting up the Kendal Mint Cake?

Saw them scotty, must say I was very impressed and more than a little jealous! however coating it in chocolate is gilding the lily somehwat in my opinion.

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

MK Ultra.. Bronski Beat... there's a slight similarity.

*runs*

Did you get those two tracks from me?

Please say you're talking Tierkreis and not Marc Almond

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.

Oh, those ones.

Right.

(c) 2005 paint it black

Except I do have a vague idea which you mean

how come Mr RAY has edited his posts out?

Heh, just noticed...

Just like Mister Ray say say says
Just like Mister Ray say say says

I said my name is Mr Ray and you' under arrest!

Suicide

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

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

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

the JR enigma continues...

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

The Days of Pearly Spencer, was a great drunken sing along for some of my mates in the early nineties
