[kj] (OT) Speaking of Banshees...

I got a promo of 7 Year Itch and was so appalled by the flat singing I
didn't buy the album. Only Banshees album I haven't paid for. She's badly
out of tune on several studio tracks, but that's sometimes part of the
appeal. 7 Year Itch just sounded like she couldn't hear anything through
monitors; she's consistently a quarter-tone flat, rather than bellowing all
over the place.

Does she sing in tune on the live Mantaray stuff? I have that 7 year itch
dvd & it's un-fucking-listenable. Utterly, utterly disappointing. Luckily I
couldn't tell she was ridiculously out of tune when I saw them on that tour
in Sheffield. 'twas an awesome gig...

got mine this week too - I think its pretty decent value on Amazon already.
Particularly enjoyed the DVD - comparing the early footage to the latest
Mantaray DVD I can safely say Siouxsie has aged a lot better over the last
30 years than me...

It's a fantastic package.



It renders "Voices On The Air" obsolete, however, as it includes all the
Peel sessions. The quality is excellent, and the entire thing is only marred
by the usual pretentious wankery of Paul Morley's "essay" (sic) in the
booklet. The DVD is great too; I can now retire my DVD-from-TV of the Rock
Goes To College.



Recommended, particularly when it comes down in price a bit.

"The scene was wild and somewhat sinister. The darkness, the palms, the
mountainous background, the silent lake below, the impenetrable canopy of
space, studded with secretive and significant stars, formed a stupendous
setting for the savage noise and blaze of the ceremony."
