 Oriental marching band hip
hop with farting horns and catchy accordion. If this nation was
served by anything approaching a decent pop radio station, "Peek A
Boo" would be a huge hit. This record was made by people with
a sense of humour. It was not made by Goths; phew.

 As
everyone knows, the only aspect about Siouxsie & The Banshees has
been, personnel wise, the most volatile. We're talking guitarists
here. John McGeoch and John McKay both did untold good for the
sonic lexicography, but frankly, since the fat lad out of The Cure
finished his stint. I haven't paid the combo a stitch of
attention. "Peek-A-Boo", isn't, as some have
anticipated, hip hop, but nor is it, as the band claim, "the sum of
its missing parts". What it is, is a fairly complicated
quadratic equation whose answer is nought point nought nought recurring.
And not a hint of a banjo.

While others
ritually exchange clichés, hustle onto the dance floor or dip their
heads into a bucket of bleach just to curry favour, Siouxsie wanders off
all on her own and comes up with something very strange indeed...
Great, clumsy, backwards rhythm, off-centre strings and time-delayed brass. And where did they get the sea shanty accordion? |
