Heartland

artist it says here-The House Of Usher,or at least for this one track playing at the moment-its Adrenochrome by the way.
anyway,ive not come across it before(the "tribute album that is),altho the title Monochrome rings a far off bell somewhere.its the Usher thing thats thrown me.through all my searches of the remixes and covers etc,the house of usher has never come up,and the only usher i know of is some m.o.r,mtv rap artist.
so,wondering if anyones got this album of covers for a start,and what i'd have to do i order to own copies either cd or file share.please??

Monochrome is both a bootleg album and a cd of early stuff


some nice guy, posted the catalogue numbers to all of the tribute albums way back when

you should find them after a quick search on

monochrome, first and last and forever etc

btw - jim thirlwell doesn't like the sisters, he downloaded the first track he could find on the web.........and covered that

I have this Monochrome and 3 more Sisters tribute albums, at least one is still missing.
but, to be true, most of the covers are not something you could call great

I have one House Of Usher CD, the only time I've ever seen anything by them. Bought it purely out of interest, without a clue what to expect - they could have been death metal for all I knew.

The music is good, if a little derivative. Very Sisters 84 ish, with a good bit of Catastrophe Ballet-era Christian Death mixed in. The vocals are a complete Ian Curtis rip-off. The whole thing however is done with far more energy and enthusiasm than your usual rip-off merchants, so I'll give it a thumbs up.

The very idea of anyone covering Adrenochrome is weird - it's like someone doing a version of Hey Hey We're The Monkees really, isn't it?

from what ive heard of house of usher they sound v good. i have to agree with mh- it is very curtis ripped but much better than certain other bands that appear on sisters of mercy tribute albums

i heard that house fo usher also covered wasteland or something, is this true?

their first album "stars fall down" is really good
more joy division than sisters actually, worth to track it down
...

the only track I liked on monochrome was that cover version of 1959 by *tries very hard to remember name....*

nope. they made a cover of 'neverland' by the m i s s i o n, from the album with the same title. it can be found on the m i s s i o n tribute cd 'forevermore' (équinoxe rec. / efa)

i would recommend their first, 'stars fall down' or their third, 'cosmogenesis', but they are all worth buying / listening. under 'special' (on their homepage) you can download a full live concert from london and some songs from leeds, did you found this, too ?

i will now

hey many thanx for the info and links.plenty to be going on with.
just remebered where id come across the monochrome cd,had been in the running for ebay auction a while ago for it.
memory like seive.and bad spelling to match.

first port of call,house of usher then

i think Serendipityhaven was asking if anyone can provide her with a copy, as her trade went pear-shaped...
