The Sisters story is far more complex than that. They got an appalling treatment at the hands of their US record company in 91 and Eldritch waited for his contract to expire, which it did in 97. They're now asking big money which they're not going to get and won't sign to an indie. Shame. Their new stuff is stonking.

The Sisters were a great band. It's a pity that they don't release anything nowadays. (TimeWarner arguments, etc.) Does anybody have their last excuse of an album, "Go Figure"? It wasn't released and it's not under the SOM moniker it had something long and silly name.
The act was called "Screw shareholder value", Googling for that resutls a lot of information. It used to be quite widely mirrored around web some four years ago, but I didn't bother too look up if the sites are still up. (Point being that no SOM-fan should buy the album.) I have the mp3's, if somebody is interested. It's somewhat sad that SOM has gone into just releasing "best of the greatest hits"-collections these days, but at least they play a concert or two every year, making it possible to catch them live somewhere. (Saw them in Roskilde 1998 myself.) Hmpf, talking about old goth acts at KLF-mailing list, how offtopic can you get? _______________________________________________ KLF mailing list KLF@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/klf
