Blog about Eldritch by Tony James

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.

Very cool. I just wish he'd gone on to talk about what it was working with Eldo from a "doing business" point of view.

Tony has posted stories on the recording of vision thing which I read some years ago...I think it was on the Sputniks site at the time. Don´t remember many details, except that he mentioned the manic habits of AE during the recording (not least the smack) and that Tony felt kind estranged to the process and even left it for a while. He couldn´t nail some bass parts so AE or whoever did them...I think that was for ribbons.

He wrote that the recording budget seemed very generous as they could afford to eat at luxurious restaurants. He also mentioned AE doing a million overdubs for certain parts on the album.

IIRC that was Something Fast- Tony couldn't get the groove right; it was too slow.

...and the bass on Ribbons is well nigh inaudible anyway. :lol:
Left at the dead badger.

That autobiography makes great reading :notworthy:
I had a face on the mirror
I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a ticket to Syria
