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.
