This article by @johnreppion in @forteantimes is something of a modern Fortean classic - thoroughly researched, well written and thought provoking. Loved it.

I remember being so excited when this came out, it had seemed so unlikely there would ever be another Sisters album. Vision Thing’s rock leanings might have disgusted some of the faithful, but listening to it today it weirdly sounds a lot better than it did in 1990 #nowspinning
