	avalanche
		An avalanche is caused when a build up of snow is released down a slope, and is one of the major dangers faced in the mountains in Winter.
		Even small avalanches are a serious danger to life, even with properly trained and equipped companions who avoid the avalanche.
		Avalanches occur naturally when the weight of snow becomes so heavy that a layer of snow looses its bond with the layer beneath.

		The band regrouped with Adams on bass, while Andrew's drumming was replaced by a drum machine, leaving him to concentrate on vocals.
		The drum machine was christened Doktor Avalanche, and all of its numerous successors kept this name.
		Fearing a clash between white fans of Sisters with the fl following of Public Enemy, several towns banned the performances, and the tour was cancelled halfway through.

		Doktor Avalanche, or "Doctor Rhythm" as some call him, is of course one of the original members of The Sisters of Mercy.
		As being a member of the Sisters of Mercy is arguably the closest that any earth bound form can come to true divinity, Doktor Avalanche commands not just respect, but worship as well.
		Until then, I suggest checking out the doktor avalanche lj community.

	The Sisters of Mercy - Medleys - Sister Ray
		The idea of the medley was always the same: Doktor Avalanche was providing a uniform beat over which the rest of the band played one or the other song until everybody got satisfied and Doktor was told to shut up.
		Nearly all possible combinations of the three songs were tried, sometimes featuring all three, sometimes two, and sometimes only one song; many Sister Ray medleys didn't have Sister Ray at all.
		Doktor's work on the song was extremely slow, thus making this version sharply different from all other incarnations.

		Avalanche followed the PCs over the next two years, blaming them for the death of fellow Quartet member Sister Midnight, who was also his lover.

	Sisters FAQ II
		An essential move seems natural to The Sisters but is to set them crucially apart from (and ahead of) their peers: they are now anchored and driven by the legendary Doktor Avalanche, drum machine.
		Eldritch, Adams, Hussey, and the Doktor play loud, hard, and flawlessly, and the atmosphere in the auditorium is charged as seldom before.
		A fifth generation Doktor Avalanche drives a selection of songs which highlight Eldritches maturity as a singer and a songwriter.

		Adams's bass and Avalanche's drums combined well and gave the Sisters a tight rhythm section and a characteristic sound that were both missing from Damage Done.
		The recordings were still roughly recorded, but the new songs were highly promising and showed that Adams and Avalanche could harness the band's energy.
		Floorshow in particular showcased blistering Avalanche drumming and stunning Eldritch vocals.

	The Sisters of Mercy
		One of England's leading "goth" bands of the 1980s, the Sisters of Mercy play a slow, gloomy, ponderous hybrid of metal and psychedelia, often incorporating dance beats; the one constant in the band's career has been deep-voiced singer Andrew Eldritch.
		(There is some disagreement as to whether the group took its name from an order of Catholic nuns or from the Leonard Cohen song of the same name.) Eldritch originally formed the band in 1980 with guitarist Gary Marx and recorded its first single with a drum machine dubbed Doktor Avalanche.
		Guitarist Ben Gunn and bassist Craig Adams were added to make live gigs feasible, and the Sisters built a reputation through several singles and EPs.

	BBC - Clubbing and gigs in Bristol - Sisters of Mercy review
		This Smoke and Mirrors tour date was the band’s first appearance in Bristol since 1985 when, funnily enough, they played the Studio.
		There was no support band, just some vaguely Gothy tunes as background, and the Sisters (frontman Andrew Eldritch plus two guitarists and drum machine 'Doktor Avalanche') appeared on stage in a haze of smoke at about 9pm.
		John and I had been placing bets about the opener – neither of us was proved right when the strains of Temple of Love crashed out.

		Instead James Ray of Suicide (the NYC techno-terrorists who influenced the original Sisters) does the vocals and gives us a very nice Eldritch-esque sound (or is it the other way around?) Ray's Suicide partner Alan Vega plays on the album as well.
		The music is an interesting forerunner to techno (Doktor Avalanche is working overtimes even on this short overall album) and also to some of the electronic sounds available on the later Sisters albums.
		Finland Red Egypt White (some title, huh) is actually a groovy Avalanche and a hypnotic 8 minute flow of...someone reading the specs of an AK-47 rifle in a monotone with slight distortion.

	The Null Device: comments on "200002291710_doktors"
		In the early nineties, as acid house was developing a cult around this drum machine, it was suddenly very fashionable to riff along to TR808 sounds.
		We did that almost ten years earlier, when the cocktail drinking classes and the NME thought it was a bloody stupid idea.
		We wanted it to run DOS 3.3 and we wanted an identical spare rig, because cargo-handlers do more damage than the average military encounter, and we like to have one Doktor running while we're fixing the other.

		The intensity of color of glacial ice is otherworldly, and the color of the snow and ice has specific meaning: recent avalanche, new fallen, compression in progress, etc. The pilot said 150 feet of snow turn into a single foot of glacial ice.
		We flew up and landed on a glaciar with a large snow base on top — a snow bridge, they kept calling it, as it bridged any small crevasses well enough in the main camp.

	Sisters of Mercy - Sex & Violence
		Formed in Leeds, England, during the early-'80s, they rose to prominence on a wave of amphetamine-charged intensity.
		The formula was chilling and distinct: a precision-thunder drum machine appropriately dubbed "Doktor Avalanche", twin swaths of sheet-metal guitars driven by low-ended bass, and Eldritch's barbed and sonorous vocals.
		But by the '85 tour to support their First and Last and Always LP, Sisters blew up.

	FloodlandSisters Of MercyWhile Andrew Eldritch has been away,
		Steinman also co-produces the opening track Dominion/Mother Russia which romps along in a similar vein.
		On Flood 1, with its references to the brooding, magisterial synth line of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, and Neverland, where Doktor Avalanche (the drum machine) swallows and spits out John Bonham's drum sound whole, Eldritch treads a fine line between pomp-rock bombast and the gloomy, swirling atmospherics that are the trademark of the originator of Goth.
		During the intro to Driven Like The Snow the music's heartbeat slows to a level where you expect a bleeping line to start bisecting the cardiograph machine, before Eldritch's ethereal, yawning baritone comes welling up through the cracks in the instrumentation like the flowing water that dominates so much of the album's imagery.

		The Armada, you see, ended up being the nickname of the band's drum machines, all stolen by Matt from various rock luminaries, most notoriously Uncle Andy, which is reportedly how he ended up in debt, hating goths and being a miserable git.
		Back in the halcyon days, Insatiabelle Isabelle was the band's drummer, a tiny manic dark-haired dervish flailing madly away behind her drum kit.
		Fortunately, the Sisters of Mercy had just played, and the Captain had always loathed Andy E. So he beat him up and stole Doktor Avalanche (painting a big skull and crossbones on the side to disguise it).
