Siouxsie & The Banshees have been for years an inspiring band for goth/post-punk bands all around the planet, and if some inspired bands ever tried to take their path, it was alwayshard to impossible, to match with the originality and uniqueness of this legendary band! But nowadays we can see that the band had also a great influence on bands, that are milesaway from that specific mood and style that Siouxsie was famous for. And this is exactly the point of this unique tribute! It prooves to be always a tricky exercise, to render the music ofThe Banshees in some totally different way, from dreamy pop to indie rock, from ambient to trip-hop. Still: this broad range of styles makes this compilation so unique! On 'Icon' you'll find 15 interpretations of timless musical pearls, polished by real musicians dedicated to the diva Siouxsie, from international renowned idols (NNHMN, Psyche, No More,Velvet Kills, Tying Tiffany...) to absolute newcomers - united by one thing: a deep love, understanding of and respect for Siouxsie's music.TRACKS: 01.
