This confirms what I have long suspected about the biggest mystery in the history of the band: why they stopped making records. It wasn't that they didn't want a new record deal: it was that they literally couldn't get one. What major label would trust them after they'd gone on strike against their previous label for several years and then broken their contract with the SSV dummy album? And of course,"The band fail to secure a new contract and refuse to release new material independently. According to rumours, Eldritch's starting negotiating position is $3 million USD for 3 albums."
being , he wouldn't want to release anything on an independent label. And then, as time passed, I suppose that elusive major label deal must have just seemed less and less important: could stick to his stubborn guns and still make the band work financially (somehow).As has been discussed here before, the technology to release an album directly to fans over the web has existed for years now, but naturally, that isn't acceptable either because it's still the 1980s and the Sisters are still a major label band in in
's head. I was also interested in this note about Gary Marx's 'Nineteen Ninety Five And Nowhere' album (
famously failed to respond to the demoes):Where did he say this? In an interview somewhere?"Eldritch commented this recently by noting that communications between the two about this effort had been conducted over a third person, rather than directly."
