A question for all the Sisters fans!!!!!!!!

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.

"Whats your opinion about the music from the Sisterhood?" Please, choose: bad or good or very good! And a few words why your like or hate the Sisterhood. I'm just curious! It' my favorite band. And "Giving ground" is my favourite song, it's better than Sisters version of "Giving Ground". I hope this is not an declaration of war to all the Sisters fans.

I asked W. Hussey (m*****n) in person, this question.He loves the Sisterhood, His favourite song is "JIHAD"(Five Zero Zero Zero). ;D

I was actually thinking about this after purchasing the Giving Ground 7" recently and, yes, I admit that Gift is one of my favourite musical outputs from Mr Eldritch.

Colours is one of my favourite tracks (both the Sisterhood and Sisters of Mercy versions).

I agree on this 100% ... + Giving Ground is a classic ...

I like it, although I'm still looking for it on CD at a reasonable price. I also need to find a copy that doesn't have a scratch in the record during Rain From Heaven.

I have two copies, but it doesn't seem to matter which way I do it I always end up playing the same damn record with the scratch in!

I got my CD from America via eBay. Can't remember exactly how much I paid for it but I do remember it was an absolute bargain (something like a fiver including postage from the US!).

I like it more than Vision Thing, less so than FLA & Floodland.

Definitely ahead of its time.

Not too bad. Some higlights like giving ground. Sorry if this goes against the grain.

Gift was the last nail in the coffin for me. Ahead of its time my arse.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

pretty much with Frankie Boy on this one, it was a major let down, at least it's better than SSV :P

The Sisterhood:

Giving Ground RSV - So.. beautifully.. in a synth way.. rawk! :twisted: (Yeah, I know, I'm drunk.)
Giving Ground AV - I'm not really a fan of instrumentals, but if you want to sing along...

Jihad - If it was shorter, you could dance to it.
Colours - Not really. WAY too long, and I don't really see the point of the Sisters cover.
Giving Ground 12" - Not as good as RSV, too long and with removed lyrics. Still a good song though.
Finland Red, Egypt White - One of my favourites.
Rain From Heaven - Absobloodylutely brilliant.

OVERALL - The Sisterhood are the best. They don't need Eldritch, they should just get back together and make another single without him. I'm sure Alan Vega can sort out drums (if Mr Rev is free).

----
SSV:

Nice - Shockingly enough, an inspiration to a lot of my work in English class. A poem based on it stunned my class into a scared silence. :twisted:
Shut The F**k Up - I like, I like.
Two In The Nose - I don't like. Sorry.
Bad Vultee - Reminds me of Finland Red, Egypt White. I quite like it.
Gone - The best techno.
Drugsar - First SSV track I heard. It's too long.
Highschool - Now THIS is a good one. Did they remove the drums from this? Either way, after the first 2'40", when the chanting starts, it's actually a good song.
Feel No Pain - I'm reminded of Train.
Go Figure - No. Just no.
Knife, Paper, Stone And Guns - Well, it ends on a good song.

OVERALL - For techno: Great. On the whole: Could be better.

I was bored.

I did have a litre and a half or so of cider last night at a friend's (spread over about 4 or 5 hours with Monty Python). I was thinking of posting on Heartland or alt.gothic, but then I realised that everyone posts on either/both whilst in that state or worse, and I'm one of the few people who posts under the influence of no chemicals (not even the ones that are meant to be there). Except caffiene.
So I decided against it and went to sleep.

Gift was one of the earliest Eldritch things I purchased. I like it, it gets better as time goes by.
