    SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES - Through The Looking Glass (1987)

    PAÍS: INGLATERRA

    Si es que existe una reina dentro de la movida dark, la corona se la lleva, sin lugar a dudas, la hermosa "Susan Janet Ballion", mejor conocida como SIOUXSIE Sioux quien junto a sus leales "Banshees", lograron consolidarse como la banda precursora del "Postpunk".

    Sería en "1975" que "Siouxsie" conocería en "Londres" a "Steven Bailey" mejor conocido como "Steven Severin" viendo actuar a los Sex Pistols y volviéndose unos fans acérrimos de ellos.

    Ya para "1976", se incorporarían "Marco Pirroni" en la guitarra y "Sid Vicious" en la batería debutando en un festival punk en un club de "Londres", participando con el larguísimo The Lords Prayer (14 minutos de duración) siendo un debut y despedida ya que la banda se desintegra luego de esta presentación.

    Tres meses después, ingresaría en la batería "Kenny Morris" y ya en "1977" la formación se completaría con "Pete Fenton" en la guitarra quien estaría 5 meses con la banda y sería reemplazado por "John McKay" hasta "1979" grabando los dos primeros discos de la banda.

    En cuanto al disco de Siouxsie And The Banshees , fue lanzado bajo el sello "Polydor" para el mercado europeo y bajo "Geffen Records" para el mercado americano.

    Fue el octavo disco de la banda y lo que llamó la atención fue que todos los temas eran covers de sus artistas favoritos como The Doors , Roxy Music , John Cale , Iggy Pop , Bob Dylan , Billie Holiday , Television y los legendarios Kraftwerk en donde el mismo "Ralf Hutter", elogió la versión que hicieron de The "Hall Of Mirrors".

    En cuanto a la presentación, la funda viene con lo que se conoce como "Die Cut Sleeve" además de que el que tengo, está autografiado por toda la banda.

      Although it's a cover version album, It doesn't feel like they playing other people songs it sound like they made their own song .
      You will sense the powerful persona , the mysterious hidden beauty , the gloomy mood from this iconic goth : Siouxsie & The Banshees through the looking glass.

      Discover our self in the looking glass !
