E is for ... (31 Days of Halloween, Oct. 5)
ELDRITCH, ANDREW
A short one today, friends, as I'm time-crunched and will be so until Tuesday.
Here is "Temple of Love" by the Sisters of Mercy, unsung giants of Goth, Featuring Israeli folk singer Ofra Haza.
Andrew Eldritch is the voice of the Sisters. He seems to have
quite an adoration on Youtube. He could certainly rock the chainsmoking
Dark Prince look back in the day. Or is that the "15 day bender in
Hamburg" look?
Mr. Eldritch has joined the Hair Club for Men of Darkness with
grace and style. Though a qualifying member, I am still on the waiting
list.

Hard rocking on a Friday night. It's just what I need. R
I never knew about that
song with the late Ofra Haza. Whenever I think of the Sisters of
Mercy, I always think of their Amazonian bass player for a spell,
Patricia Morrison, who'd been in the Gun Club.
I have never heard
this. Thank you so much. I love Sisters of Mercy and Ofra Haza. Thank
you, thank you, thank you. (And I'm pretty sure Ofra Haza was from
Yemen. :) )
Trudge - my pleasure as always
VA - there's been many interesting collaborators with the Sisters. You can hear Terri Nun of Berlin in the background of "This Corrosion", and she later did a duet with him.
Muse - also my pleasure as always. Wasn't aware of Ofra Haza being from Yemen - I recalled her always being billed as Israeli. Tragic death, too.
