Siouxie and the Banshees - "Strange Fruit" (Through the Looking Glass)

Almost carnavalesque song, slowing down, waltzing...

Gloomy Synthesizer Sundays - part 2.

So... post-punk came from punk, borrowed its DIY attitude, its love for modern art (symbolism, Dadaïsm), applied that to rock music, to look beyond the usual rock music boundaries (using dubstep, synths, etc), but not necessarily limiting itself to the sonic resonances of punk...

And from there came, end of the 70's, crashing into the 80's, among others, cold wave. Primarily French music style, though it was Kraftwerk and Siouxie and the Banshees who first provoked that description.

Siouxsie / The Creatures and John Cale - "Murdering Mouth"

Her of Siouxsie and the Banshees, but post Banshees and currently "The Creatures" period: great duet with John Cale in Paradiso while performing "Murdering Mouth"

Siouxsie and the Banshees


  • Strange Fruit (on "Through the Looking Glass") is way more jazzy and almost carnavalesque than anything I have ever heard by them

The Glove

wave, banshees guy & the cure's robert smith

Nothing I'm extremely excited about, but like it better than the Cure... and it's not bad.

Some stuff, like "Going To Hell" is a lot more modern and dance like.
