Product Description

CD Description

There's no dispute that Siouxsie Sioux is the founding den mother of the goth movement. And there is no finer introduction to the moody and mysterious music of Siouxsie And The Banshees than TWICE UPON A TIME: THE SINGLES.
Covering the band's evolution from deliciously dark and dreary ("Cities in Dust") to gothic goofballs ("Peek-a-Boo"), TWICE UPON A TIME demonstrates that the Banshees were not just mopesters, but (especially after the redoubtable Budgie joined on drums)but could also even crack a smile from time to time. This is especially evident on their excellent covers, especially the raved-up version of Iggy Pop's The Passenger. Even thoughlater Siouxsie relied more on novelty than songwriting ("Kiss Them For Me"), the band put out an impressive body of work in its time. A great primer for the new fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Constantly re-inventing themselves, 2 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Siouxsie and the Banshees were always one of the most enigmatic bands to come out of the punk movement. They were about the last of the London bands to get a record deal, and they only really stayed with the punk theme for the first 2 albums.

This isn't quite the classic that 'Once Upon a Time' was, but it still has some great tracks on it. From the shoe-staring deliberate 'Melt' through the studio-perfect 'Cities in Dust' and on to the fantastic dance-beats of 'Kiss them for Me' this album shows a band evolving at a rate that few others could match.

There are a couple of down points though, like the over-orchestrated 'Dazzle' and a couple of other weak tracks, but overall a damn-good album.
