5.0 out of 5 stars Makes me Melt!, 17 Mar 2005
By S. R. Hall "kruxie" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A beautiful little 9-track gem of an album, sadly too often lost in Siouxsie's backcatalogue. This is a floral and avante-garde sort of album, mainly due to the use of string instruments, on which we hear Siouxsie really discover her voice. Until you've heard this you've never heard Siouxsie sing. The album was written at a curious period in Banshees history; the band's line-up was what is largey considered the best (Siouxsie, Severin, Budgie and John McGeoch), the album was engineered by off-the-wall Mike Hedges, and most of the band were taking LSD. And it shows. The album is insanely brilliant. My favourite tracks are Melt! (possibly the sexiest song of all time. It gives me chills), Cascade and Cocoon.

This album can not be recommended highly enough. It is gorgeous. What more can I say? I adore it.

5.0 out of 5 stars glorious and gorgeous, 13 Sep 2003
By A Customer
On Dreamhouse, the Banshees ended their first, seminal phase of gloomy, hard post-punk and began their second phase, of lush, poetic art-rock, of which this, sadly, was the first and best example. It was all downhill from here but this is the swooning peak of a near-perfect run of adventurous and enjoyable albums and singles. Although this has pop moments (its singles, though not big successes, were among their most beautiful and mysterious) its real joy is in the more experimental work (Obsession, all strings and tape effects; Cocoon is cocktail jazz played by Martians; the hypnotic, London-obsessed Circle). The Banshees never really reached these dizzying heights again, but you can see the cues here which sparked Siouxsie and Budgie's esoteric and exciting future as The Creatures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their best work, remarkably orginal. Lush !, 27 Aug 2001
Its still rancles with me that Siouxsie and the Banshees got mixed up with the whole gothic image thing - I think is put many people off their music but then they shouldn't have dressed the way they did. This is their best album, by this rather than any other, I doubt you will have heard anything like this before. This is not harsh gothic guitar horror this is beautiful hypnotic music. From the enchanting opener " Green Fingers " it will take you and transfix ( it features a recorder by the way ). Play "She's a Carnival" extreemly louldly, this is not gloomly, it even has wurlizer type organ at the end. Cacasde is my favorite thing they ever did. Melt is about being in love. What more can I say.
