Body Electric - tinny v phat

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Techno? :urff: Have a bath!

I prefer the original but then again I prefer the original of any song, later versions are just silicone implants.

Me too - I'm not a big fan of "the old religion redefined", to coin a phrase. The originals of BE, Alice and TOL were full of energy, a statement of where the Girls were at the time. The remakes are like American remakes of European films, or those hand-coloured photos you used to get in old books.
