How important was his role in shaping the Sisters’ sound? Andrew Eldritch – vocals, keyboards, guitars, drum programming (1980–1985, 1987–present), drums (1980) [29] Before I dropped out. I wanted to change to learn Chinese at Oxford and they wouldn’t let me, so I moved universities to Leeds. At that time there were only six universities in the country that taught Chinese. That’s how long before the Chinese boom it was.We never recorded as the Sisterhood, we just went out and played some gigs. ... Andrew recorded as the Sisterhood, and since he released something prior to us he got to claim the name. ... To be terribly honest now, I think Andrew was right. I mean, two members of the band going off and trading on their old band? It's like two ex-members of the Mission going off and naming themselves as the Missionaries. It's a bit cheap. [13] When Adams and Hussey left the band, they were replaced by the American singer and bass guitarist Patricia Morrison of the Bags and the Gun Club. [12] No. But Jim is very good at getting budgets for stuff that requires big budgets. And he’s very good at organising choirs – all the stuff that constitutes icing on the cake. I didn’t realise that he paid no attention whatsoever to the cake until I worked with him. But the icing was always very shiny. Justice, Cedric; etal. (21 March 2013).

Review Summary: The Sisters of Mercy sophomore effort finds a band completely changed but still in top form. Note: The album was originally launched on 13 November 1987. For further releases see discogs/Floodland Speculation about a new release was renewed in November 2016, when Eldritch said he might release a new album if Donald Trump were elected president: "I don't think I could keep quiet if that happened." [20] The band has yet to release any new material, but in 2017 they embarked on a European tour in August and September. [21] [22] The band has performed thirteen new songs during concerts held between 2019 and 2022, such as "There is a Door" and "Show Me (On The Doll)," but has yet to make studio recordings available. [23] Since 2012, some of the shows featured a guest appearance by the Irish singer Lisa Cuthbert who performs her cover version of "This Corrosion" on piano. [24] [25] InfluenceVery happy with the pressing, flat/centred and quite punchy throughout. Sounds better than the remastered cd I have (Rhino box). Eldritch has later considered producer Steinman to have been more pivotal in securing funding for additional production than the songs themselves. This album however gets played regularly enough to this day and remains a favourite - and leads directly to KMFDM and Rammstein. While the lyrics are ostensibly an indictment of the George H. W. Bush administration, I'm more charmed by non-sequiturs like " Here come the golden oldies, here come the Hezbollah" from Doctor Jeep or " Long distance information just tell me where the manholes steam" from Detonation Boulevard.
