    I've always said AAE were very much ahead of their time, especially from around 88-95. One of my big regrets was never getting to see them live when they reformed before they disbanded for the second time

    Anyone any opinion on em? Cos I'm sure i'm not the only one that's heard Miss Regan & Co.

    I'm awaiting another reunion. It's probably as likely as a Sisters reunion but never say never. Regan has finished her work with The Eden House album, not sure if there's gonna be tour for it though.

    Don't want to veer off topic but aren't the Sisters playing a gig in London soon?

    It's really only Andrew Eldrtich, a couple of unknowns and a drum machine though. As opposed to Eldritch, Adams and Marx. :)

    No you couldn't!
    Trust me, go onto youtube and check out recent "sisters" performances. They sound terrible. Last time they played over here i think was at the Red Box (now Tripod) in 1997 and people walked halfway through the gig, it was that bad.

    They're most famous for the lip-syncing disaster on TOTP.

    Fixed your post, trust me, that's not the most famous thing they're noted for.
    To their credit, it wasn't actually their fault either. Julianne mixing business with pleasure with some of the band being one. They were waiting for the cue which never came, they did get to perform again the following week.

    Incidently, On the keepsakes set DVD, the TOTP cockup is there as an easter egg.
    Thanks for bringing it back on topic. :)

    Yeah loved them back in the day. Julianne Regan really has a beautiful voice.

    Probably their most famous release:

    Their recent gigs are bloody dire though, all over youtube and Eldritch sounds like total crap. But we all know the real Sisters Of Mercy died in 1986 anyway. ;)

    Julianne Regan on the other hand, still has the voice, even during their second stint from 99-04.

    I only have a couple of songs and they are outstanding. I would'nt be that mad about the more folkier songs though, I much prefer the more rocking songs such as 'In the Meadow, Every Angel, In The Clouds, December etc.

    I feel the same myself, which is why their self titled debut tends to get left on the shelf gathering dust, but Touched By Jesus and Ultraviolet get heavily played. Dig em out and give em a listen.
