You certainly know that London has gone funk berserk when the news has got through the permafrost to reach the ears of Siouxsie.  So she drops everything and gallops out to cover Ben E. King's 'Supernatural Thing' on the 12" version of this here, dishing it up with all the rollicking good humour we've come to expect of her.  The title track is more the ticket; The Banshees swirl and shimmer like the Bunnymen, but still she sings in that tone of voice that most people reserve for complaining about the dry cleaning.

Three track mini-meisterwerk; also featuring 'Supernatural Thing', a funk-junk wet dream on its own, but done here with suitable, uh, aplomb.  I smell a hit.  Ben E. King this ain't, but fine for rolling and reeling to in the dark.  Siouxsie and The banshees make great single: It's official.
