Go Figure of SSV-NSMABAAOTWMODAACOTIATW.

I have heard different take son this, but after the album got a sort of cult status and after I heard it, got a sort of symbolic value for me, I want to know what it really is.

Is it a true side-project of TSOM, Andy deliberately grouping up with 2 techno guys and forming a new real band SSV, making an album and using it to get Andy out of WEA-
Or is it just a techno producer duo getting thrown some lyrics by Andy and using it to make a joke album just to get out of WEA?

(Or- my real question- can Go Figure be called a Sisters of Mercy product?)

I say it's a piece of junk.

No way Jose, thank God. It's not even meant to be a Sisters product. It's just a trick Eldo played on the record company. Some s**t techno product coupled with Andrew's voice. By that point (97), the record company had got so fed up with Eldo and his strike that they accepted to regard it as a new Sisters album, hence ending Eldo's contract.
But what the record company says does not make it a Sisters album.

So what's SSV basically ? Yet another rock'n'roll swindle.

I actually have begun to like Go Figure.

Not for its musical quality, of course.

It's more or less an artifact, something nobody ever listens to, a little secret, and that alone makes it worth listening to. It has ( dunno if this is the correct term)a great "novelty value"? It's just fun to get to know the songs on it just as well as other products.

And because of the droning monotonousness, it's great to make homework on.

It helps me get to sleep most nights! Knife, Paper, Stone & Guns along with STFU are the ones I play at night. Don't know whether the fact it helps me sleep makes it a good thing or a bad thing though.

How can you people listen to that crap...

start doing it and you might find the answer.

Ik heb het geprobeerd Ivo....In dit geval hoef ik niet te winnen.

Never heard it.............pish?.

So?

Tidal, I suggest you spend a couple of hours and read through everything on The Sisters website. It will answer most of your questions.

Then, download the Underneath The Rock issues (in the Heartland Photo Gallery) and read them.

Then, if you have further questions, come ask us!

So....you paid good money for something that a) is lousy and b) easily available for free.



As for a), I actually rather like it, when I'm in the right mood.

And let's add c) sourced from mp3's....

My price paid was less than a new plastic holder to put the cd in... Too late, so can't change anymore...

For free as a download.....But I understand you paid a small amount.
I recently saw the vinyl edition for 45 euro's....

C'mon - SSV makes for some great aural wallpaper, now and then...

I did all the above long ago.. i'm just wondering about whether this can be considered Sisters material.

Did actively work together with Bellendir and Schroeder and have a real band for a short time, or is SSV just "P.Bellendir&T.Schroeder- featuring Andrew Eldtrich vocals"?
Did Andy have any influence on the music rather than just the vocals , for instance...

For me it's no sisters...

I kinda like the picture vinyl, just for the looks.

And if it were better quality, I might like most of the songs for the monotonous drone-techno they really are.
