About

On January 16th, 1995, Siouxsie and The Banshees released their 11th and final studio album 'The Rapture'. The Rapture had two singles: O Baby and Stargazer. The songs on the album were some of the most light coming from the band that practically paved the way for the darkness of Goth. Following the writing of the songs at Siouxsie and Budgie’s house near Toulouse, France, in March and April 1993, the band then went on to Léon near Biarritz. They produced the first part of the album at Studio du Manoir in May, then went to London, and finished the album with the help of The Velvet Underground’s John Cale, who produced the remaining tracks. The album was remastered for CD in 2014 with three bonus tracks, including a previously unreleased song called "FGM", and "New Skin", a song recorded for the Showgirls soundtrack of the Paul Verhoeven film of the same name.
