What are the essential Siouxsie / Me'Shell records people need to hear in order get with the program in time?

Assuming Siouxsie hasn't gone back to her punk rock days per se ('electropunk' though, hm)...well, easiest thing to do would be to get the Once Upon a Time/Twice Upon a Time singles comps, as the Banshees were absolute geniuses on that front, at least during the early eighties in particular.

Me'Shell ------> "Cookie: The Anthropological Mixtape".

+ the only way to listen to this is on headphones.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Thursday, 14 August 2003 14:08 (twenty years ago) link

I WANT IT NOW and this will not stop me from buying it when it comes out.

Me too. I have no patience or self control whatsoever and I can't stand the fact that it exists somewhere in the world without me hearing it. I am immature like that.

― Larcole (Nicole), Thursday, 14 August 2003 14:14 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe I will put my copy up on ebay? ; - )

Nah.

Yes, it's *that* good.

Hey, I'm glad you're enjoying it (not being snarky, it's just become a non-issue for me now).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 14 August 2003 14:39 (twenty years ago) link

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 14 August 2003 19:31 (twenty years ago) link

Strongo, can you make a tape for me? I can either make you a goofy mixtape or pay you for it...

― Larcole (Nicole), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 12:17 (twenty years ago) link

Now we will see who Strongo considers his friends and enemies.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 12:25 (twenty years ago) link

they're still on astralwerks in US right? I'm all over it.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 12:48 (twenty years ago) link

Sucks to be: me, who will probably never hear this album before release.

― Barima (Barima), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 12:56 (twenty years ago) link

maybe someone can get a copy in time for the next FT club night and they can just stick the whole dam thing on while we sit there drinking beer, eating Thai food and musing on their genius?

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 19 August 2003 13:32 (twenty years ago) link

keep in mind folx my promo won't be arriving until the middle of september, and it could likely leak before then.

"error getting file list" :(

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 29 August 2003 03:51 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, thanks, Jess, I'm so excited!

― Ding Dongs in Motion (Arthur), Friday, 29 August 2003 03:57 (twenty years ago) link

:-) This is actually going to be album number two of the year for me to get really excited about, I realize.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 29 August 2003 04:11 (twenty years ago) link

okay, here goes:

track 1: 2-step dnb buried in an avalanche of r&b signifiers (strings, chimes, the works) with a vocal rips "tained love" (no shit.)

track 2: serious p-funk house action. what "sfm" was trying to be on rooty and failed to be. n'degocello sounds like prince's camille, except the genderfucking flipped and reversed.

track 3: interlude.

track 4: dizzee rascal is the most exciting person on the face of the earth today. vaguely middle eastern acordion (?) modal/bagpipe drone thing going on. imagine jammer or danny weed if they overdosed on e and got 10k in new equipment.

track 5: interlude, deranged freaks-style gibber

track 6: their most deranged track since "fly life", and 100x as overstuffed. also, their most blatantly princely track ever. harmonica! acid wah-wah guitar! half a dozen competing voices!

track 7: if jc chavez produced an entire album with the jaxx it would - in sonic terms at least - trounce justin 8-ways from sunday. more prince. imagine modern r&b produced by, say, the house crew or jonny l.

track 8: interlude. "robert owens in the echo chamber."

track 9: a rather straight forward, yet totally beautiful, fingers inc. style house-ballad.

track 10: title track. the best electroclash track every written. no contest.

track 11: fractured spanish-guitar pop house that never quite achieves lift off since it seems to be collapsing from the inside. "house of the rising sun"/"paint it, black" meets chain reaction meets rodney jerkins.

track 12: stacey q style stab-fest. the rhythm sounds like it was made out of stalactites and percolating coffee.

track 13: indie pop! this is the jaxx's "hey ya".

track 14: typical jaxx gorgeous slow jam closer. 7 minutes. utterly aquaeous. chill out meets kompatkt meets drexciya meets timbaland.

this album is fucking STUFFED. as usual, they fill each track with enough ideas to fill another artists whole album.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 29 August 2003 05:39 (twenty years ago) link

and two listens in album of the year, no question.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 29 August 2003 05:40 (twenty years ago) link

:::dies:::

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 29 August 2003 05:41 (twenty years ago) link

haha look at my horrible grammar there, people! do you see what this record has done to me!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 29 August 2003 05:43 (twenty years ago) link

i can't remeber the last time a record had me feeling dizzy.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 29 August 2003 05:48 (twenty years ago) link

01 what strongo forgot to mention is that the vocal rips THE ORIGINAL GLORIA JONES VERSION OF "Tainted Love" or at least that's the effect. and that the bridge is all slurpy and glitchy before going all orchestral-stomp but tempered w/vox that balance out their grit with an I-can-wait-awhile-it'll-be-fine smoothness. and that there's a fucking compu-coda that sounds like the lock-groove at the end of adult.'s sgt. pepper.

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:06 (twenty years ago) link

oh my fucking god it's the album of the year and I'm only halfway through the second track. oh my fucking god oh my fucking god OH MY FUCKING GOD.

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:07 (twenty years ago) link

haha james blount to me earlier tonight: "this is going to be for andre 3000 what it was like when brian wilson heard revolver."

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:09 (twenty years ago) link

(i want this thread bookmarked for the next time someone says i never say anything positive on ilm.)

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:10 (twenty years ago) link

04 "i just want to say i feel great" ME TOO DIZZEE!!!!!!!

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:11 (twenty years ago) link

(also chorus splits diff 'tween rave-siren, todd edwards-style cut-up, glitch, middle-eastern modalisms, thousand other things i can't even comprehend right now)

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:12 (twenty years ago) link

(I think Blount meant when BW heard Rubber Soul but carry on)

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:12 (twenty years ago) link

and holy shit did they swipe that beatboxy coda w/acoustic from "Like I Love You" OR WHAT?!

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:13 (twenty years ago) link

i don't want to go to bed, but i'm propping my head up on a cup just to stay awake just so i can listen to this again. I AM 14 ALL OVER AGAIN AND MY FAITH IN MUSIC IS TOTALLY REDEEMED.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:15 (twenty years ago) link

aaaargh, i want to hear this NOW

― H (Heruy), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:19 (twenty years ago) link

sorry Luomo and New Pornographers, you look like pikers to me now (still love y'all though but, well, you know)

07 is so fucking Prince-circa-1999 crossed w/Prince-doing-rock it's just fucking sad-making

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:21 (twenty years ago) link

(plus vocoders that sound like windshield wipers tiptoeing thru low-pass filters)

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:22 (twenty years ago) link

I mean they get the EXACT SAME TEXTURE in the background vox as Prince did up through Lovesexy, it's a holy and beautiful thing

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:22 (twenty years ago) link

track 13 is the great lost b-side from the rapture album.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 29 August 2003 06:26 (twenty years ago) link

(remixed by junior senior.)
