'Sister Sister' is a white label release from Sister Bliss, charting at
number 20 on Pete
Tong's Essential Selection for May 19, 2000 on his BBC Radio 1
show. [May 22, 2000]
Copies of Sister Bliss' 'Badman' CD single from Champion Records (U.S.)
have shown up at a Boston store as of February 28, 1998. Is this the first
commercial U.S. release of 'Badman'? I have not seen the U.S. vinyl
release. [02 March 98]

Faithless
:
Sister Bliss is one of the four core members of Faithless. She has
co-produced the album "Reverence" with Rollo, co-written
the songs as indicated in the separate Faithless discography,

Is the following song another Sister Bliss concoction?:
