Filmic Delights

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.

It was the video that was shown as part of the XXX gigs - an eclectic selection of clips of manga and other stuff, if I remember correctly.

As per their website: "We took on editing the filmic delights for The Sisters Of Mercy 2011 tour! Hooray for hours of nonsense."

I don't think that was shown at the Auckland gig - so it was just shown at a few shows on the XXX Tour? Do you think it will see the light of day? Any other info you know of - soundtrack to it?

In Paris the filmic delights were played outside the concert hall. I think that might be the last concert they were played. In July in Tavastia Helsinki concert there were no filmic delights and no postcards at all.

And there was no soundtrack to it, since they were played during the gigs as sort of visual enhancement.
Made an interesting effect, though not as specific as you might find the vids accompanying Laibach gigs ...

Also the delight of cupcakes happened only in Leeds concerts :(

No - I seriously doubt it will ever see the light of day. It was clips from other films. It would cost a fortune to release legally (i.e. to pay all the rights holders).

In Budapest they played some of the usual music through the PA before the show, with the filmic delights running in the background. I don't think there was any specific formula to how they went about it.

The video consisted of fragments of robot anime, people having sex in a waterfall etc. - entertaining at the time, but probably not so interesting on its own.
