This is a 33 1/3 record to SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES 1980 LP KALEIDOSCOPE
Kaleidoscope is the third studio album by British rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees, released on 1 August 1980 by Polydor Records.
With the departure of John McKay and Kenny Morris and their replacement by two new musicians, Budgie on drums and John McGeoch on guitars, the band changed their musical direction.
Following the departure of McKay and Morris, the band regrouped and redirected their sound for their third record.
Departing from their previous work, the Banshees incorporated synthesizers and drum machines for the first time.
They particularly experimented in electronic music on a couple of tracks: the electro-rock minimalism of "Red Light" and the atmospheric, synth-based piece "Lunar Camel".
The album also contained what could be described as a ballad, "Desert Kisses".
Kaleidoscope marked the debut of guitarist John McGeoch and new drummer Budgie.
Siouxsie Sioux saw it "like a new lease of life".
The songs had been demoed at Warner Chappell studios with only a bass and a synthesizer played by Siouxsie and Steven Severin.
After the 1979 tour, Siouxsie had been ordered to take one month of rest by doctors; she used this time to learn to play guitar and compose music for the first time.
When they recorded the final track of the album "Skin", Budgie asked co-producer Nigel Gray if he could add a second drum kit, as if "I was playing to myself a ‘call and answer'
