4 out of 5 stars Better than most...........2005-05-30

Most A TRIBUTE TO... compilaions are quite bad. They insult the original artist and their fans. But this one is actually quite good!The best song, and is even better than the original and even the rework by Siouxsie on The Thorn, is The Shrouds version of "Red Over White". The vocals are top notch and envoke more passion that Siouxsie does on her 2 versions. Ever se the movie "Deep In The Woods" the scene with the young man in the woods,and the erie light shinning down on him in the darkness...this song creates a disturbing vision like that one.Best tracks:NIGHTSHIFT: SwitchBlade SymphonyMONITOR: Ex-VotoRED OVER WHITE: The Shroud HEADCUT: Corpus DelicitiSillyThing: Deep RedLAST BEAT OF MY HEART: EderaBiggest embarrassment:SKIN: Sin

3 out of 5 stars Just OK, But Not Worthy of Siouxsie!!!!.......2003-07-19

The cover of Red Over White is SUPERB on this album (dare I say it? better than the original? sacrilege!! well, in true Banshee tradition, The Shroud covers a song and makes it their own!), however, things are a bit downhill from there. Too many of the tracks sound like they are the same band, too synth-heavy and simply not interesting enough. Love them or hate them, the Banshees' music was so multi-faceted you can listen to a song a hundred times a find some new twist to it. Not the case here. I was terribly disappointed by Switchblade Symphony's version of Nighshift! So flat! The vocals are OK, a bit haunting, but otherwise dullsville! I suppose what this points out is that NO ONE can adequately cover the Banshees. They are in a class, a world ALL their own.

4 out of 5 stars The dead can dance!.......2002-05-19

This album consists of 14 synth heavy interpretations of some of the best Siouxsie and the Banshees songs.
Highlights include a striped down rendition of 'Night Shift' by Switchblade Symphony, a manic, guitar driven 'Head Cut' by Corpus Delecti and a dreamy, ethereal version of 'Last Beat of My Heart' by Edera.
Not a bad collection at all, really. Only disappointments are Waiting For God's too slight version of 'Red Light' and Stone 588's plodding 'Night Shift'.
Fans of newer goth music and even industrial shouldn't be unhappy with this.
