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.
Pravda Recording Studio is a professional recording and mixing facility in Leeds, the capital of North England. The studio combines the best of modern working practices with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which has made it popular with everyone who has worked there.
The headquarter of the Pravda Studios consists of Adam Pearson (Guitar player and songwriter of THE SISTERS OF MERCY since 1993) and Sebastian Morawietz. Both they can look back to a long history of musical work and experiences. So, Adam Pearson played guitar and bass with JONNY THUNDERS, RED LORRY YELLOW LORRY and 3000 REVS before his involvement in the SISTERS, Morawietz on the other side is one of the main creative heads behind the very successfull girl group project ATOMIC KITTEN ("Hole Again"). In the past he also worked as programming engineer for several acts.

Recording is also underway at Pravda for the next, long overdued THE SISTERS OF MERCY album.
Yup, Adam's studio, which he was "still building" in 1999.
Headroom Productions is a music production partnership based in Leeds comprising engineers/producers Matt Peel and Andy Hawkins.
We met in 2004 whilst on a session for the now-defunct Bodixa. Both us and the band had a great time making the album, and we decided to work together permanently from Cottage Road Studios, formerly Pravda.
Pravda was your standard sterile studio environment and since 2004 we've tried to change it into a place that has a good vibe and where people feel at home. We've both worked in big studio environments, and love the sound of large analogue consoles and nice-sounding live rooms, but both wanted to get away from the tense atmosphere that sometimes comes with that. The studio we set up at Cottage Road has a lovely large Amek Rembrandt console, great sounding outboard and live room, but above all it's comfortable and relaxed.
I question the use of "since 1993" and then most of the rest of it
