Product Description

CD Description

This collection features the Creatures' early-1980s releases, including the full-length debut, FEAST, ably showcasing the sensual, dynamic singing of Siouxsie Sioux and the percussive might and dexterity of Budgie. Moonlighting from their work as part of Siouxsie & the Banshees, the duo (who would later marry) use a minimal palette (primarily vocals and drums) to create a surprisingly full sound that's steeped in atmosphere (the lilting "Thumb"), tribal-influenced fury (the frenetic "Sky Train"), and big-band boisterousness (a horn-laden cover of Herbie Mann's "Right Now"), with the swinging latter style hinting at both future Banshees and Creatures outings.

4.0 out of 5 stars no creature could be better, 12 Nov 2004
finally i got my hands on this 1997 published the creatures album, which includes so-craved and rare 1981 ep (i happened to buy it on vinyl when it was released) which's songs i was even able to hear when banshees did three shows in finland with the classic mcgeoch line-up.

since the first beats of 'mad eyed screamer' this albums is a nostalgic pleasure trip to the time siouxsie and her bandmates were at the peak of their musiciancraft, innovating something so fresh and new, even in such a strange-sounding 'the feast' which sioux and budgie mastered somewher in oceania.

its a bit of pity that banshees never released a live album from 1980-1982
mc geoch period, but i am glad there are songs like 'but not them' reminding me of that time. this album is not a masterpiece but an interesting dive into to depths of most innovative post-punk music ever done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Siouxperb!!, 21 Jan 2007
Pounding drums together with those pulsating vocals showcase this vastly underrated siouxsie/creatures sound, now quarter of a century old. 'A betsuary of' is mainly featuring the 'Feast' recordings that took place in Hawaii and includes the hard beats and delightful tunes of'Ice House,''Dancing on glass,' and the chanting of 'Festival of Colours.' Highly atmospheric throughout, and utilising local choirs and musicianship, this c.d. demonstrates an established act not afraid to do something fresh and completely apart from their previous work. More accessable hit single 'Right Now' is also inluded here, but it's the voice like no other that makes this c.d really work.
