DOS-PRU5U1V3A38-2MM-081227967291-BNFS Brand New! Factory Sealed! ----- from New York's Largest Selection of Entertainment Media Since 1976!
12" LP (translucent blue vinyl)[Numbered Limited Edition]. This release
authorized by Robert Smith. Numbered Edition This one-off collaboration
between the Cure's Robert Smith and Siouxsie & the Banshees' Steven
Severin resulted in an eccentric, and at times incompatible, mix of
psychedelic sounds wrapped around alternative '80s pop.Writers Smith and
Severin's more eccentric tendencies are as likely to evoke pictures of a
carnival as a funereal march, but the backbone rests largely on tightly
constructed tunes with occasional forays into the experimental.
Jeanette Landray sings the majority of the tracks, while Smith takes the
lead twice amongst a smattering of instrumentals. Standout tracks
include the Middle Eastern-twinged "Orgy" and the more conventional
"Mouth to Mouth." Smith's distinctive warbling on the first-class
"Perfect Murder" takes the album directly into Cure territory, as do the
instrumentals which could equally find a home on Seventeen Seconds.
While musically diverse, the album's lyrics rarely stray from the dual
themes of death and sex, furthering the gothic undertones so often heard
in Smith and Severin's previous work.
