Review by Susan Alban

Siouxsie and the Banshees' album Hong Kong Garden is a timeless classic that truly captures the spirit of post-punk. The album features the iconic single "Hong Kong Garden," which showcases Siouxsie Sioux's haunting vocals and the band's signature hypnotic sound.

The album's other tracks, such as "Voices," "Love in a Void," and "Metal Postcard," are equally compelling and showcase the band's ability to create atmospheric and moody music. The album is full of experimental sounds and textures that create a sense of unease and tension.

at 1:45 i think that shirt belongs to Sid Vicious, because i've seen him wearing the same shirt on a poster.

Not ready to appreciate this music edit (THE ORIGINAL INTRO IS TOO MUCH ENGRAINED IN MY MIND) however i encourage interpretations by others as I do a bit of this myself. I have been a big fan since buying the original 7'' single in 1978 in gatefold sleeve format. I love

Remember this as a 10 year old coming out the radio in 1978. Ten years later I'd rediscover the banshees again and become a lifelong fan. Fantastic playing by John McKay

Quote by STEVE SEVERIN ~ "John [McKay] was the first to define the Banshees Guitar sound. He was a bit younger than us, not involved in any of the Pistols stuff and living in Hemel Hempstead, so he was always catching up. But it did come naturally to him. It's such a waste of talent. Of all the Guitarists, he's the most enigmatic to me."

Harmful elements in the air
Symbols clashing everywhere
Reaps the fields of rice and reeds
While the population feeds
Junk floats on polluted water
An old custom to sell your daughter
Would you like number twenty three?
Leave your yens on the counter please

Ho-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh
Hong Kong Garden

Ho-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh
Hong Kong Garden

Oh oh, oh oh

Tourists swarm to see your face
Confucius has a puzzling grace
Disoriented you enter in
Unleashing scent of wild jasmine

Slanted eyes meet a new sunrise
A race of bodies small in size
Chicken Chow Mein and Chop Suey
Hong Kong Garden takeaway
