New Sisters

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.

If Andrew decided to record another Sisters album, what musical direction do you think he would take? Do you think he would start from where he left off, meaning that the songs would sound like Vision Thing? If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Under The Gun, Temple Of Love and Alice the last songs he recorded as The Sisters Of Mercy? Hmm wasn't "Alice (1993)" the last song he ever recorded, as it was recorded for the Under The Gun single? It's hard to say what musical direction he would take for a new Sisters album. He's been co-producing some Die Krupps stuff... enough said there.
I think that if there's ever a new Sisters album, it will be a combination of Floodland and Vision Thing, combined with some electronica. But who knows...

You thoughts? :wink:

Hmm... there is of course "We are the same, Susanne" and "Summer". Isn't "Dream" a new song too? These songs sound more like Vision Thing than Floodland.

@ eric

i think that's just the live incarnations of them, some of the floodland stuff can sound pretty 'balls out rock 'n' roll' on a good day!

Probably more like Vision Thing if the new songs are any indicator. That said, Von claims they only play the stonking tracks live, so what the rest sounds like is anybody's guess.

I've long since thought the only way forward for the Sisters is to release an Indie single or two. That way he can prove the band is still cabable of "shifting units" (or not), which just might entice a major label to stump up the sort of cash he's after.

A "steady away" Vision Thing i think......

Pity we will never hear it.

Still playing guitar - sometimes weird shaped ones.

A tad pessimistic, methinks.

The law of diminishing concert returns states Eldritch will eventually need to find another means of paying the rent.

Would be interesting with a release of a new album, but I believe Vons current research is limited to Vodka and crystal meth and how to entertain festie audience :razz:
