Heartland

I've just been to Barcelona for a few days while i was there i managed to visit a few record shops were i bought "First Last and Forever" a tribute to the Sisters it's got 14 tracks on it i just wandered if any body else has got it or heard it and what they think of it.

Hello and welcome!

Never heard it so I couldn't possibly comment...

Aye, Hello, I saw a copy of it a few weeks ago, it looked pish.

Cheers i thought i'd wasted 9 euros only track on it worth listening to is the last track done by The Prophetess never heard of them

The first Sisters tribute album I bought some 10 years ago now.
Very dull IMO. Last Dance do a rather good interpretation of Body and Soul, that's pretty much it i think.


And welcome to HL

I like Sisters tribute albums. Or what I've heard of them.

I have it, yes, I also have Monochrome, Violent Hour and that other one Thank You! or something.

On all those four tributes, there are some nice covers, like a nice Alice by The Shroud, afecked up version of Black Planet by Automatic Head Detonator and an eerie version of Afterhours by, I believe, 11 Candles.

The rest ranged from pretty boring to utter crap.

IZ.

The whole thing is garbage. Really, really bad - the Shroud cover of Alice is a curio, with the riff done with real strings, but I wouldn't say it came near the original.

An example of bands missing the point of the Sisters experience by a long, long way.

Now that's what I always LIKED about covers, going away from the original, but in a GOOD way.

The Shroud do it very nice, IMO, just because they use a chamber orchestra-sound to reproduce a song. And the atmosphere is different, but nice. That's why I say I also like the version of Automatic Head Detonator's 'Black Planet'. It is totally different, almost a whole new song.

IZ.

Yes, it looks, sounds, and in fact it is "pish"

I thought every track on it was miles better than the originals,it's rarely off my cd player,I've never heard a better version of Marian.Anyone who hasn't got it should buy one.

oohhh, Last Dance - Body and Soul, don't suppose you have a copy? I saw'em in Leeds a couple of years ago at Beyound the Veil, they where

Absolutely terrible. Especially that one by 'the prophetess' or whatever the name of it is. I really cant stress how bad it is. The singer in it really has trouble holding a note.

But i like the shroud cover, only because its done so differently to most sisters covers ive heard. They did a good cover of a bauhaus song too if i remember righly. Too bad theyre s**t outside the cover albums

That about sums it up. Well, that sums up most so-called tributes to the Sisters, actually.

It's not all garbage, though--Automatic Head Detonator do a fab version of Black Planet. The rest of it? Utter trash, and not the good kind either.

Wilkommen!

Lambchop's This Corrosion is the only proper cover of a Sisters song. To steal someone else's line:

Fact!

Nouvelle Vague's Marian ain't too bad either.

Has that been uploaded on HL?, I've never heard that cover.

Aye, it's about somewhere. "Wrongest thing ever" thread, or something like that.

Better get this one too, IZ...

Maybe...

I had that First & Last & Forever cd years ago, but sold it quickly 'cuz it sux big time! The only good thing about it is Automatic Head Detonator's breakbeat version of Black Planet. That one I would like to hear again, but no thank you for the other dodgy darklings.

The Foetus version of First & Last & Always (on anutha tribute cd I don't have) is a fine cover as is Marian by Nouvelle Vague
The Bus Station Loonies' cover of Temple of Love is very funny/groovy/loveable and Creaming Jesus' take on it is a good laugh too!

Lambchop takes the lead though with their exceptional version of This Corrosion. 7 times 7
