	Andrew Eldritch: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		The grim visage and ominous baritone of Andrew Eldritch proved to be more influential than any chart placements would suggest.
		Neither Eldritch nor Pairman used their real names so they could receive welfare support and still be in a group; Pairman used the pseudonym Gary Marx.
		Eldritch complemented the Sisters of Mercy 's sinister gothic rock by dressing in fl and hiding his eyes behind dark shades; his gloomy delivery, a cross between Jim Morrison 's reptilian hiss and Leonard Cohen 's despondent croon, would provide the blueprint for numerous other goth vocalists.

	Andrew Eldritch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andrew Eldritch (born Andrew William Harvey Taylor, May 15, 1959) is the frontman, singer, songwriter and the only remaining original member of The Sisters of Mercy, a band that emerged from the British post punk scene and, in later years, also flirted with pop and hard rock.
		Andrew Eldritch was born in the small city of Ely of East Anglia in the UK in 1959, the same year as fellow post punk icons Robert Smith of The Cure and Morrissey (originally of The Smiths).
		Though Andrew Eldritch is often called the "Godfather of Goth" [5], The Sisters of Mercy (the main artistic vehicle of Andrew Eldritch), despite being formed in 1980, were originally not very popular in the post punk sub-genre that the British press, in the early 1980s, had labelled, both the artists and their audience, Goth.

	The Sisters of Mercy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The band was formed in Leeds, England in 1980 by F-club regulars Gary Marx and Andrew Eldritch to satisfy their intent to hear themselves on the radio; somewhere in the process band t-shirts were made and a single, "Damage Done/Watch/Home of the Hit-men", was recorded and released.
		Meanwhile, Eldritch protested their usage of Sisterhood name as too similar to The Sisters of Mercy and a name that had been applied to fans of The Sisters of Mercy, and in an attempt to stop the practice released the single Giving Ground by his own band, The Sisterhood.
		Eldritch stated in an interview, which also featured Morrison, that Morrison's role was as a sounding board to help him define the direction of his music.

		Andrew Eldritch did decide to hire a new member, former Gun Club bassist Patricia Morrison (who is now married to Dave Vanian, singer for The Damned).
		Andrew hated the association people made between his work and the Gothic movement, and it seems that "Floodland" was his attempt to distance himself from the fl-clad, bat-winged multitudes.
		Andrew expresses his desire to see Mother Russia rain down on our Yankee heads, and kicks out poetry like "there's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia, a white house in a red square/I'm living in films for the sake of Russia, a Kino runner for the DDR".

	Splendid Leaves the House -- The Sisters of Mercy
		Eldritch immediately launches into "First and Last and Always" -- which, since it isn't one of the handful of Sisters singles that has received ex-post-facto radio airplay, doesn't gain immediate recognition from the entire audience.
		First of all, the sound quality is horrible, and Eldritch (who's apparently recovering from an illness) sometimes loses his vocals in the sea of guitars, drums and, I suspect, backing tapes.
		After ditching the white mandarin-collared jacket in which he made his entrance, Eldritch reappears in what seems to be a psychedelic Hawaiian shirt -- probably the most brightly-colored piece of clothing in the entire building, and a garment that might even have lost him a few fans.

	The Sisters of Mercy: album reviews and ratings
		In 1987, Andrew Eldritch revived The Sisters of Mercy by teaming up with bassist Patricia Morrison and releasing Floodland, an album where keyboards layering and bass guitars defined and re-defined goth rock for generations to come.
		Eldritch sings his disgust, in his deep and broken voice, with the state of the world.
		The keyboards are kept to a bare minimum, and the baritone voice of Eldritch is clear amid the storm.

	Sisters Apollo review
		Eldritch continues to bitch savagely about his record company, East West, and their utter uselessness in promoting his records compared to say, Simply Red's.
		To be blunt, all is not well on Eldritch Boulevard; the speculators are moving in, some of the foundations have been declared structurally unsafe and unlikely to last another ten years without replacement, and there's a rusting white Merc on the sidewalk that hasn't had its tank filled for several months.
		Eldritch's paranoid posturing and frantic ducking and weaving came more and more to seem like the sad parody I, in company with others, attempt in our bedrooms while dancing to the records but are too cool to ever admit to.

	Sisters Lyrics: Pre-First and Last and Always
		Eldritch refers to this quote in UTR 8: "The mentally wayward child of the Goethe quote is of course, Alice".
		Allegedly recorded single-handedly by Eldritch (though there is evidence that Craig Adams wrote the bass lines to some of the songs), the songs are characterised by stark, tense drum patterns, and brutally sharp guitar riffs, over which Eldritch laid his reverb-heavy baritone vocals.
		Eldritch, for once, misses his target as the Band Aid/Live Aid organisations in late 83/84 demonstrated that famine was the one thing that was still horrific enough to shock the populace out of their complacency.

	Sisters Lyrics: Floodland era (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Eldritch is a noted Bowie fan and often cites seeing Starman (also from Ziggy Stardust) on Top of the Pops as the reason why he became a rock star.
		The comparison between guns and drugs is a typical Eldritch riff, notably "a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside" from Temple of Love.
		The two ways of using the Ring can be likened to the two meanings of this line: Eldritch uses The Ring as a means of ultimate power ("kissed and toll'd"); the bell toll'd for Hussey's version of The Sisterhood, and RCA were forced to kiss Eldritch's in the form of a cheque for 25 grand.

	Disc of the Week (6/26/2002): The Sisterhood: Gift
		Eldritch was furious, since the Sisterhood was another name for the Sisters.
		Apparently, Hussey and Eldritch were also both signed to RCA at the time (and not very happy with their contracts, either), and it was made clear that the first band to come up with publishable material under the name Sisterhood would get a fat advance.
		Eldritch had the last laugh, as always: he erased the drum track before submitting the master to EastWest, effectively destroying what little interest it held.

	Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy CD
		Songs are built with punishing and/or danceable drum machine tracks, guitars that alternately moan and crash, touches of '80s keyboards, and Eldritch's deeply resonant, undertaker voice, for a sound that made the Sisters one of the leading lights of the '80s Goth movement.
		By 1987, Andrew Eldritch had risen from the goth underground which he had been mired in (to his dismay) for much of the 80's, and he had successfully shaken off the limp hippy influences of the insufferable Wayne Hussey to emerge bigger and better than ever with Floodland, a work wholly and completely his own.
		Andrew Eldrich proves that he is truely a genius with this, the second release by The Sisters of Mercy.

		Eldritch has come back from what he terms another "hugely successful absence," three years after he faded from view with Floodland, a dark, brooding, keyboard-driven affair between himself and ousted bassist Patricia Morrison.
		Eldritch offers up a timely anecdote from the Floodland days, when the Sisters traveled to Jordan, in the then-less-turbulent Middle East, to lens their truly epic "Dominion" video.

		Andrew supposedly has numerous anecdotes about Mexico, presumably relating to his trip there in 1985.
		The band were stuck in LA for a few days waiting for a flight back to England, so Andrew and John Martin, the tour manager, decided to hire a car (despite neither holding a driving license) and headed way down Mexico way.
		The methods used tended towards the extreme, and the name Torquemada is usually used as a symbol of cruelty and sadistic zeal, although recent revisionist histories have suggested that the Spanish Inquisition have suffered from a bad press over the years.

		Now almost two decades ago, after Eldritch spent years studying language at Oxford and Leeds, taking drugs, and realizing he couldn’t play the drums, The Sisters of Mercy’s first LP (and their only old recording still in print), was released.
		Eldritch (born Andrew Taylor) would prefer not to be called goth.
