..and the current LP is taking even longer!
Does anyone have the bootleg of the SSV recording? I'd love to hear it.
SSV is the shortened name of the band SSV-NSMABAAOTWMODAACOTIATW, formed by Sisters of Mercy singer Andrew Eldritch in 1997, as a way to get out of the Sisters' contract with WEA. Eldritch provided a duo of relatively obscure techno music producers some spoken vocals, and they quickly put together a couple of techno tunes employing the Eldritch samples. Then the percussion sections were removed entirely, and presented to the record company, who grudgingly accepted the product, dissolving the contract.
It is "hinted" that the band's name stands for "Screw Shareholder Value - Not So Much A Band As Another Opportunity To Waste Money On Drugs And Ammunition courtesy Of The Idiots At Time Warner".
