I have played The Scream reissue more than anything else this year. The Peel and Pathway sessions are just SO fantastic. Her voice is great - quite girlish and playful on the likes of Mirage, HKG, Carcass espec, with none of the goth foghorn that she sometimes lapsed into later. We all talk about McGeoch and Budgie, but McKay and Morris sound terrific. McKay's metallic tone sounds better on the sessions than on the album, where Lilywhite takes the edge off a touch. I wonder if it's Pete Fenton playing guitar on 'Make-Up..'? Maybe I should read the sleeve notes! The Peel version of Overground is amazing too - (why did I never bother with the Peel sessions before this?) - love the little organ on it. I could talk about this all day.

I am disappointed that The Scream didn't include the whole of the Riverside session and the preceding Track studios session (Scraphead/20th C Boy/Captain Scarlet/Psychic).

She had to completely re-learn how to sing at one point (around '79-'80 iirc) because unfortunately she was developing nodules or something and was in imminent danger of destroying her voice completely.

"You have got to check out the Siouxsie & The Banshees Nocturne DVD. Not only does it have the original live concert with Robert, but two TVappearances with Mr. Smith as well. Plus one of the Bonus features is a BBC TV Special that i'd probably only read about, but had never seen. It is basically filmed LSD. Robert, Sioux, Budgie, and Severin all dressed as Alice visit Wonderland (also the name of the Banshees record label). While in Wonderland, Robert gets interrogated by surreal clowns, then there's a segway into a Creatures' video, then a Glove performance (!!) of "A Blues In Drag", Sioux tells a story, and more bizarro mini-films. It just has to be seen - a must for any Cure fan."

Sorry Dan, it sounds really good to me, but possibly a bit quieter than I remembered. Maybe it's just that there's more space around the guitar - you can hear REALLY clearly when he stomps on the tremolo at the start of the chorus (e.g at 2'15"). I like details like this!
― Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 20 October 2006 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link
I think the guitar tone isn't nearly as bright as it is on virtually every other siouxsie recording I've heard, which may be influencing my perception here. I'm also comparing this sonically to the version on The Seven Year Itch which has atrocious vocals but balls-out FANTASTIC guitar and drums.
