btw this album sort of changed my life when I first heard it

I think it was the second actual album I heard by Siouxsie and Budgie in any guise.

From the other thread:

"As for this utterly excellent album that has not a single flaw -- pick only one? Please. Am surprised they didn't try for "Speeding" as a single, though."

this is probably "Standing There" vs "Venus Sands" for me, although I also am very partial to "Manchild" and "Untiedundone"

― Bunsen burner, bubbles, IT'S ALIVE! whaaaaa-? (HI DERE), Thursday, 4 March 2010 20:43 (fifteen years ago)

also "Simoom"!

Also, one of the most unexpected Club MTV appearances ever:

exactly how much had Siouxsie had to drink before this lip synch performance

Where to begin.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 4 March 2010 21:19 (fifteen years ago)

I remember seeing it when it was broadcast and wondering if it was really happening.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 4 March 2010 21:19 (fifteen years ago)

I don't think I've ever felt more deprived for growing up in a cable-free home

Hey, we both missed this tour, so we both suffered.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 4 March 2010 21:28 (fifteen years ago)

I voted for "Simoooooooom"

― Shut That Maldoror (Noodle Vague), Friday, 5 March 2010 10:03 (fifteen years ago)

This is my single favorite Siouxsie album. I might have voted for any one of over half the tracks, but went with "Pluto Drive".

wtf, I voted for "Venus Sands"

― we call him black Nev coz he's black & his names Neville (HI DERE), Monday, 15 March 2010 13:57 (fifteen years ago)

Obviously ILX hates you.

21 years old, there's a moment of realization.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 15:43 (fourteen years ago)

wow haven't listened to this in ages - I remember growing slowly to like it but right now I can't deal with any Creatures before or after so I dunno

I missed out on much of Siouxsie when I was younger and thus never really followed this project either, but had fun hearing this album and writing about "Standing There". Such a great tune.

Love The Creatures, search their b-sides and fan club singles.
