Accentuate The Positive - Andrews Sisters

Advantages: Atmospheric grandeur
Disadvantages: -

...And Andrew Eldritch said “Let the Sisters Of Mercy be reborn “ and behold it was so. After the demise of the original Sisters of Mercy with the departure of Wayne Hussey, Craig Adams and Gary Marx the future of the band looked very bleak, and after the completion of the Sisterhood project Andrew Eldritch was to take an extended holiday that was to last for two and a half years. After this break The Sisters were reborn in the form of Andrew Eldritch, the ever faithful Doktor Avalanche (the drum machine) and Patricia Morrison as Eldritches only human companion.
