"Stargazer" still makes me want to learn to ice skate just so i could to this swirling, hypnotic track. Masterful. And the B-sides! Who doesn't love a band that backs up (literally and musically) their jewel offering with something equally intriguing just for those willing to buy and turn it over?? Their "Supernatural Thing" is still a playlist favorite. Great stuff. Once again America's loss. Although I can't hear the post any longer thanks for highlighting this band….and all the great stuff here!!! Your narrative is alone worth the ride!! Yay!kevinpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501873866325216412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-30855276050531826102015-04-17T14:29:52.568-04:002015-04-17T14:29:52.568-04:00One of SATB's greatest achievements is the qua...One of SATB's greatest achievements is the quality of their B-Sides. Most if not all are equal to the impct of the singles and albums they were recorded around. The B-Sides around Kaleidoscope and Juju are especially amazing.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-49665758459309439362015-04-17T12:49:46.742-04:002015-04-17T12:49:46.742-04:00I can tell, Echorich, I can tell.

Of course, I know you feel by '91 we were already at least a couple of years into a musical desert, and I completely agree. I miss the band too, but they left us quite a bounty.<br /><br />Adam, I remember that post well. Never miss a day at your place. I was thinking of you in particular when I put up the Snapper Mix.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-45912307784494131742015-04-17T11:47:06.807-04:002015-04-17T11:47:06.807-04:00I blogged this single myself a while back.

Not only did I also consider these bands my (and my friend's) secret, but with all the access I had in NYC to seeing my favorites over and over, sometimes twice in a tour, it felt like they were just as big here as over in the UK.<br />Siouxsie and The Banshees never made music that I would consider aimed at charting here, but I think music did catch up with them by the early 90's and their sound was accessible to a wider audience because of prevailing musical winds. Lots of people I know think Superstition a sell out album, but I feel it's the same band broadening the scope of their sound. Siouxsie was still a shiny object of a singer, still able to lead you to her spider's web and get you in her clutches and nothing on the albums sounds like it's pandering to the market. Take a track like Silver Waterfalls - it's creepy and dark yet fascinating at the same time. I miss The Banshees...can you tell?Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.com
