Heartland

I'm not gonna do this as a poll, just pick any 2!!!

For me, it's Alice and Temple, cos I'm a grumpy old timer.

Lights and Temple. Different sides of the same coin.

Adrenochrome , for it was the first of theirs that i bought...........and Floodland (LP) as it was the second coming..........

mmm alice and temple for me too.

Emma (Peel Sesh) 1st time I heard TSOM and Neverland (a fragment).

Body Electric and Lucretia My Reflection.

Just two? Blimey.

Adrenochrome covers the gonzoid, We Are The Same (Susanne) covers the sensitive.

Covers - Emma and Comfortably Numb

although that's probably four. Sorry.

Dave

"Heartland" & "Walk away"

Emma (31st October 1984 live version. First boot I got and first time I heard the song)

and

Lights for the great bassline.

If I'm going to try and introduce people to the Sisters, it would be Temple Of Love 92 and Dominion. Settle them in slowly...

You young whippersnappers

On the Wire and Ribbons (live, from the When You Don't See Me single). One very small and quiet, one very big and loud, both very definitely could only have been recorded by the Sisters.

Floorshow EP and Dominion

If it has to be two.."Marian" &"Nine While Nine",though there is still a long list after those.

My faves are Kiss the Carpet (for old-school gloominess) and Emma (for beautiful, poetic Von at his most passionate).

In fact, the lyrics to EMMA are probably my fave Sisters lyrics - wonder why they never recorded it properly? (I think a live version appeared as a biside at some point).

Hi Shuck!

Emma (written by Hot Chocolate) was recorded for the John Peel Session in 1984. 's vocals on the B-side to Dominion, were recorded live at the Electric Ballroom (no audience but complete with Lights and Smoke) but the music was recorded properly.

Hope this was useful.

Really?:P

Floorshow and Train

(very closely followed by Some Kind Of Stranger and Dominion)

As for cover versions "Emma" and "Jolene"

Yip, Errol Brown eat your heart out.

I think you missed the point young man.

Lucretia My Reflection

Black Planet

Floorshow from the old stuff and Flood II from the... not-so-old stuff.

But Emma seems to be a good "hook" to get people into the Sisters; twice I've taped a CD for someone and in the 15-20 minutes left on the C-90 put Emma. Both times I've had "Wow that song is **** fantastic, have you got anything else by them?"

I believe there's a Demo version of Emma on the t'internet somewhere?

Bah! Enough of this oldschool rubbish - yes, the songs are good, but for songs representative of who the Sisters are today (or might be, if they'd release anything), I'd have to say...

Ribbons - because it's sexy, shiny and cruel.
The Next One.

surely it should be "summer" by definition? they are, after all, "that kind of people"...

Isn't that "the next one," then?
