Music today was Siouxsie and the Banshees‘ Tinderbox (1986) which was an album I bought when it came out. I immediately like this record more than Hyaena and when I look at the credits I see the band in the production role and Hugh Jones engineering, I guess I just have a problem with Mike Hedges’ take on sound as witnessed on Hyaena. All the sounds I don’t like about Hyaena I do like about Tinderbox. It’s still an eighties record but it isn’t lost in itself. I won’t go through the tracks on this one because it’s simply too late but you might remember the catchy first single Cities In Dust. Remind yourself about this album, enjoy this more mature version of Siouxsie and the Banshees, listen to some very nice guitar parts and wonder about the cover image, the same image used on Deep Purple’s Stormbringer (1974) and Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew (1970) – how is that even possible? One wonders if they knew? Or cared? This from Wikipedia: The sleeve reproduced a picture of a tornado, taken by Lucille Handberg near the town of Jasper, Minnesota, on 8 July 1927.
