A Picture of the good doctor (on 101)

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I love the fact the Doc has been included in the "band photo" :lol: :lol:

I'd say the guy at the back is badly hidden cameraman judging by his body shape and that he's looking down into a monitor/lens of some sort while pointing it at the gals ??

The official site wrote:The Doktor was an Oberheim DMX by the time we made the first album. The Oberheim had a (relatively) huge memory, it would synchronise accurately to tape via FSK and the memory could be backed up reliably onto cassette. Each drum was tunable (inside), and Oberheim offered a few alternative sounds. Events could be programmed to happen around the beat, not just on it. The DMX would flam happily. We liked the Oberheim better than the LinnDrum, which was more expensive and sounded too sterile. The DMX kicks were a bit flabby, and the snare was maybe not quite tight enough; the tom-toms were good.
And a new age was dawning: soon it became possible to send the DMX back to the factory and have ... midi! put on it.

Haha, good job I got me disclaimer in first. :innocent: I knew I'd seen it somewhere - the UTR files in the gallery. Of course.
