...Smith and Mark Saunders (1990). Mixed by Mark Saunders July 1990. My Favourite Song: We move like cagey tigers We couldn't get closer than this The way we lovecats The way we talk The way we stalk The way we kiss We slip through the streets While everyone sleeps Getting bigger and sleeker And wider and brighter We bite and scratch and scream all night Let's go and Throw all the songs we know Into the sea You and me All these years and no one heard ...

Review of Mixed Up - Cure (The)

Alien Sex Fiend "Altered States Of America"

Advantages: The first live U.S. compact disc
Disadvantages: Too short

Here is another live compact disc by London`s own Alien Sex Fiend. This recording took place in 1992 during the band`s U.S. tour. Prior to this, A.S.F. played in the United States Of America in 1984 and 1989. A very limited amount of these compact discs originally came with it`s own Fiendish Zillion dollar bill, however the bill is limited edition, and there weren't too many issued. I also know from experience that many music stores in the States ...
...is another one of my favorite recordings that I play frequently. The booklet leaves me to wonder if the band, were in need of some cash as the booklet is really cheap looking. Usually, I wouldn't judge the quality of an album by it's cover, but it's the first thing you notice when you see the cd in the store. It's quite uninspiring, and if I hadn't heard this band before, it wouldn't make me want to investigate further. Like most of the covers to ...

Review of Altered States Of America, The - Alien Sex Fiend

Where the Goth's go, woah

Advantages: Some good songs and a couple of great ones
Disadvantages: Overall it's a bit tedious though

...an off form U2 with some screaming. Worst track so far and easily so. * Kiss the Carpet * Hahaha, sorry – have to laugh here. The song title’s reminded me of an inside joke about fellow member Rixie. Ah dear me, back to the song. Closest in style to Phantom, it’s more electric drumbeats and spaced out riffs. The fuzzed up bass present in the song is a bit unsettling, as it doesn’t quite seem to fit in time with the rest ...
...Alice but slower. There’s quite some variety to the song, despite the riffs themselves being quite repetative – it’s the clever way the song is put together that lifts it. * Fix * Unlike Fix, which goes on for over three and half minutes without ever changing melody! Fuzzed up bass, little guitar melodies and that Nick Cave in a cave style singing again. Boring! * Burn * Although it’s not a cover of the Nine Inch Nails ...

Review of Some Girls Wander By Mistake - Sisters Of Mercy

Alien Sex Fiend "Open Head Surgery"

Advantages: Another one for your A.S.F. collection
Disadvantages: None

...funsters "Alien Sex Fiend". Open Head Surgery was originally released way back in 1992 on the Fiend`s then record label Anagram Records. Now they have started their own label "13th Moon Records". For this release, the line up of the band is: Nik Fiend, vocals. Mrs Fiend, synths. Rat Fink Jr, guitar and drums. Doc Milton, guitar and drums. This release is very different to their previous efforts. Some of the songs on this CD are very hypnotic, ...
...took and wrote that. Open Head Surgery, like almost all Alien Sex Fiend CDS gets a lot of play time on my stereo. Alien Sex Fiend`s music is a bit like Alice Cooper meets Iggy Pop. Nik Fiend can only be described as a cross of the son of Alice Cooper and Herman Munster with his singing . The lyrics are very odd like some of the original Misfits songs fast , wild and in your face. On Clockwork Banana the music is trippy. Magic has a calm Egyptian ...

Review of Open Head Surgery - Alien Sex Fiend

Wishes

Advantages: Just GREAT!
Disadvantages: May make you cry if you're emotional and get involved in the music!

Released in 1992, Wish consists of 11 songs, including one of The Cures most famouse singles, "Friday I'm in Love". Every song on this album is unique and emotional, with a truthful honesty of feeling that only Robert Smith can provide! This is a fantastic album and, in my oppinion, one of the best albums that The Cure have done since the begining of their musical career in 1979. All of the tracks vary from sad, heart-wrenching songs, such as "Trust", ...
...an emotional rollercoaster that will have you singing along for hours! Some of my favorite tracks from this album are "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea" and "Doing The Unstuck", for those lonley sad moments or joyouse "I don't care!" days. Robert Smith definitely excelled his potential when creating such a masterpiece and I strongly recommend looking into this album or one of The Cures other great recordings as, to be honest, this band are the ...
