Hopefully with better material than this, a shadow of their former shadow...The only saving grace here is the reworking of Rain From Heaven, if only he'd go back to earlier material and riff off that, Reptile House revisited would be incredible....but he's lost it vocally and has let bitter grievances with former bandmates cloud his judgement of what were the good tunes to play live or rework, sadly too much Vision Thing and not enough visionary thinking....

@@hadeseye2297 We love to was by a band called the Merry Thoughts off the album Psychocult, they sounds like Sisters though.

@@richardcrook2112 I have Merry Thoughs albums. Good band.

If only they would 😩😩😩

Ritr you are sir

A live version of Susanne is also on the Visions of the Forum bootleg - a gig I also happened to attend in Feb ‘98. It stood out on the night (as did AE’s bleached blonde hair) Prefer the version you have included here.

Hey, I'm a fifty year old goth too! Happy to help!

Careful throwing the G word around; Andy will have your heads on pikes! XD

Im 38

@@zenaudio108 There was no "goth" in the eighties, only the so called new wave or post punks. The goths were a stupid pantomime of what happened between 1975 (first industrial Throbbing Gristle album) and 1985. I was lucky enough to experience this uncomparable musical decade from the inside.

I’m 52. Saw them only once in the old days. Crash and Burn not bad.

Thanks Angel

So profesional a tus piesssssss😊

I FIND 2024 WHAT YOU ATE HINK AOUT THE SONGS FROM THE PAST IT WAS TODSY COVID TOO

The original is Caslon Antique.

It's obviously the record sleve as thumbnail. They released a lot of limited edition 12" Maxi singles.

same here!

I'll take one for the team, mate. I got you ;)

don't worry my brother this one's on the boys

Merry Thoughts. German clone of sisters.

I would agree with that

They are all live recordings. The "live" in Rain from Heaven is there because it's the only song that has an actual released studio recording, it's not that the others aren't. If you know this and still think that KZfaq has something to do with the sound, ok.

@blimeyification doesn't mean it's "youtube's fault"

It could be that the original tapes do sound better than this but considering the 720p quality, KZfaq is barely to blame. It might be the tapes, or the digital rip simply being lacking before it got upload to KZfaq. In any case, 720p is supposed to sound a lot better than this.

Obviously here they are trying to copy the guitar on the original line up unsuccessfully. Though the early tracks and first and last and always it was 2 guitars and one bass.

I am so glad they both work for you! I suspect there are more than a few Sisters' fans who have subscribed and are less impressed with the number of Dogen readings!

and I thoght I was the only crazy one that had deep respect for SOM and deep respect for Dogen life example and unsurpassable gift of writing and unveiling the Dharma. Perhaps it is a relief to know minds can be bent towards similar directions. Gashô!

Me too!

Thanks, Aiken. As I understand it, the problem is that most of the songs were written by former members such as Adam Pearson and Andreas Bruhn who haven't given their okay for Eldritch to record them with a new line up. I rather suspect that live versions of even well-established songs are all we are going to get now.

@@zenaudio108 Ah that makes sense. He plays them all live loads but I can understand why Adam and Andreas are insisting they are involved in any release - AE was always a bit notorious for being a bit ... challenging ... to work with. Wayne H had quite a lot to say on that topic back in the day and I suspect Gary and Craig could say much the same. Related - I actually still have an original release of The Sisterhood EP on tape (still in the fancy box with the insert slip); as you prob know already AE released that just to stop WH and CA using the name. Pretty poor show but who knows (except them) what who said what about whom in the studio. Still, it's a damned good EP, and The Mission was a better band name anyway so it ended OK for those 2. Maybe someone will chill and they'll all agree on credits & royalties, and then we'll get to see the studio cuts before we all pop our clogs. In the meantime - thanks again for getting this out there for the fans! XD

I still wait the same. I also wait for the gathering... classic line up.

He promised he would if Trump got in right?

It was indeed! The live version is slightly different so I thought it merited inclusion. And, thanks! I am indebted to those who have put live versions of these tracks on You Tube.

Totally agree with your comment, Albrecht. I think some tracks were played earlier than '97 but, yes, definitely not as early as 1990. I was taking Vision Thing and the subsequent tour as a baseline of that incarnation of the Sisters and these tracks are all after that. In the 90s and after would be a more accurate statement.

Agree, I saw them at the Ritz NYC in 1990 and again at Radio City Music Hall in 91 or 92 and none of these songs were part of the set list.

Nothing in here sounds pre - 90s , the style is all post ´Vision thing` ... actually some people might dispute ´still` ( just cause of the erroneous ´Patricia Morrison` connection ) but the sound and the mood is completely different from whatever Eldritch was coming up with during those days .

It is indeed. I did consider the other tracks but am not a huge fan of them. War on Drugs came closest to inclusion. Would you have included any/all of them?

@@zenaudio108 Personally I like all of those quite a bit - War on Drugs best of the lot.

also its not correct to call Rain From Heaven an unreleased song as it is on the 1986 Sisterhood album "Gift".

@@leewhizzkid Sure is.

Many of the songs were written by people no longer part of the band.

Yes, a couple of tracks aside I think that was a low point.

@Trips and 'more'

Vision Thing was alright. It's hard to follow up Floodland.

By the time Vision Thing was released Eldritch had pretty much lost his voice range. But I do like “More”

No reason you still can't. I imagine you will have your own pick of tracks and running order. There are several versions of many of the tracks too.

Eldritch has said that he can't release all this material since much of it was written with someone (Adam Pearson) who is no longer a member of the band. The compilation here is thus made up of live takes recorded by different people. Is a pity though.

That's why I made this in the first place. :)

i feel so sorry for Sisters fans who arent lucky enough to appreciate anything after FALAA. seriously mate, give Floodland a second listen. it is a fucking classic. if the band had stayed with their pioneering 1982-85 sound they would have been just dust in the deserts of sound generated by their innumerable imitators. really bad copycat bands like the nephilim were still better than shit like the merry thoughts or the fuckling rose of avalanche. all Andrew did was stay ahead of the curve.

"Gift that shines" is a RLYL-song, and I love that AE is making a cover of it. Both from Leeds starting up more or less at the same time. Wonderful.

They are all videos on You Tube. I can't remember the exact versions I used for them all but Susanne is this one for a start: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nN9dfcZ80a_VY2w.html Still: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNigjcp-2NG-fZ8.html I have Slept With All The Girls: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9h3dbuiuNXYknk.html The Gift That Shines: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLxoislz3s-1d2Q.html

Thank you... meant the ones ya "tidied up" n stuff w artwork tho... if ya have them

I do. Do you know any sites I can put them on for you to download? Or can you message me an email address to send to?

You could put them on MEGA or zippyshare

@@zenaudio108 Any update on uploading the tracks

If you burn it on CD, then yes.

I don’t think Heat is a Sisters track.

Merry thouts...

Three studio albums - First and Last and Always (1985), Floodland (1987) and Vision Thing (1990). There are also two compilation albums - Some Girls Wander By Mistake (1992) and A Slight Case of Overbombing (1993).

There are also all the singles, many of which have extra material (e.g. You Could Be The One)

I have it somewhere, gonna add more and remaster it.

@@evad520 Hi can you send me it when your done :) You can upload it on sendspace and send me the link. All I know of them so far is cry little sister I loved that for years so I can use all best songs sent plus rare unreleased songs. :) djsexyprincessjasmine@gmail.com thank you

Charles. I have two copies of 'Vision Thing' (CD and tape). Crash and Burn isn't on any of them?

Come on now son. Lets not lie about stuff that you are incapable of doing. The Lord made you impotent and gifted you with a chode. Bless your heart!

you meanie

@@GrimAnglo its not meaness. These songs sound like shamelss, souless rip-offs and D-grade re-writes off First and Last and Always and Floodland. I grew up with the Sisters. I hope Eldtritch releases a 'real album' . We all know he won't as there's no money in it anymore. Huge EGO - He got too greedy and got caught out badly in 1992. Grunge exploded in 1992 and no record company gave a sh$t about Eldtritch his by-then outdated Industrial sound as Ministry blew Vision Thing away with Psalm 69. Not to mention his ego based pedantic conditions that he demanded from US record companies. Damn waste of talent !
