Comment: SISTERS is a project from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, USA whose 4-track issue is dedicated to Christy Canyon, a retired famous porn actress who had been involved in more than 100 adult motion pictures. I like the phrase "Heaven is Christy Canyon falling in love with me" from the song Heaven Is by English synth pop/art pop/post-punk collective Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. I hoped maybe the outing does have a thematic sequel but there is no issues dedicated to Monica Roccaforte, Simona Valli, Erika Bella, for instance. Love seems to be dead in classical sense and all is virtually stimulated and filled in with simulacra. And it is propagated by the mainstream TV. Musically it is a thick, and lo-fi experiment full of stomping witch house and mutant hip-hop and ominous trap rhythms. I will give it the positive valuation especially in those tracks wrapped up in lethargic, vaporous noises as if coming out from different media and thereof providing a shamanic effect on a listener. In truth, this issue strengthens the tradition of industrial music with regard to such famous cases as Cosey Fanny Tutti as being a porn actress and porn as a part of her performance art, Genesis P-Orridge (another member from Throbbing Gristle) as a transgender human being and artist, and Jhonn Balance, and Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (the core members of Coil) propagating a voluptuous (gay) sex through their music. The issue is a bit in the discography of Diabetic Koala.
