“The Rapture”
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Geffen Records
Grade: B+
“The Rapture” is like a trip back
wards through the recording his
tory of Siouxsie and the Banshees.
The album begins with the pop
sound of the band’s recent work
and transforms toward the end into
the avant-garde punk sound of the
band’s original incarnation.
The first track, “O Baby,” is a
radio-friendly pop tune that would
have been at home on the Banshee ’ s
last effort, “Superstition.” It is a
disappointing beginning for long
time fans of the band or for those
who have heard Siouxsie’s claims
that this album will take a new
direction.

The chafchas are made from sheep
and l lama hooves. The bombo is made
with goatskin and cow fur. And,
Pereda said, the back of the charango
is usually made out of armadillo or
turtle shells or condor skeletons.
Rios-Pohirieth, who plays all the
instruments, said he made the wind
instruments himself. Many of the
other instruments are shipped from
South America, he said, but some
times it takes a while for them to
reach Lincoln.
Kusi Taki also performs without
sheet music, band member David
Jacobo said.
“We do all our stuff from
memory,” Jacobo said. “Chances are
if we play something today, we’ll
play it a little differently a month
The poppy introduction gives
way to the eclectic Eastern-tinged
sounds of “Stargazer.” “Stargazer”
calls to mind the Banshee’s 1988
album “Peepshow” with its un
earthly atmosphere and tones.
The album finally kicks into
gear with “Not Forgotten.” This
track immediately calls to mind
the band’s Robert Smith period.
“Not Forgotten” is an eerie gothic
tune that captures the definitive
Siouxsie sound. Her voice is never
so powerful as when it moans like
a choir of ghosts and howls like a
moor full of banshees.
“The Double Life” pushes back
even further into the band’s avant
garde, experimental past. The song
contains a spoken-word narrative
full of psychological twists and
from now.”
Band members agreed that one of
the band’s best performances was a
recent show for an elementary school.
“We were playing for a group of
kids between kindergarten and fifth
grade,” Jacobo said, “and they just
got up and started dancing.
“The professors’ jaws dropped
because of how the kids all got up and
started screaming and dancing.”
Percussionist Tara Wilcox said,
“It’s much better when people can
get up and dance.”
Members of Kusi Taki don’t just
perform happy music. It’s a happy
band, Fritz said.
“I think the thing that is so special
about this band is the friendships,”
Fritz said. “I hear a lot about how
band members just hate each other,
and can’t stand each other at rehears
als.
“I always come out of perfor
mances and rehearsals feeling good.”
back alleys. The music deepens
the shadows of the daunting aural
landscape with moody intonations
and ethereal grooves.
The album closes with its finest
track, “Love Out Me.” This song
returns the Banshees to their punk
roots in the style of their 1976
debut, “The Lord’s Prayer.” Dis
torted guitars clash with tinkling
synth as Siouxsie belts out a fran
tic and passionate vocal. “Love
Out Me” is a real treat for any true
Siouxsie fan who has lost faith
from her recent pop aspirations.
Overall, “The Rapture” is a fun
retrospective-sounding album, but
it ends with one question: what
sonic territory will Siouxsie ex
plore next?

Schuller, who played in the New
York Philharmonic for 42 years.
By the time Schuller was 11, he
was already involved in music as a
boy soprano with the St. Thomas
(Episcopal) Choir School.
Schuller has known some of the
true greats of music, York said.
“At the age of 16, he performed
Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony
with Arturo Toscanini and the NBC
Symphony,” he said.
Schuller was awarded the Pulitzer
Prize for music last year for his work
entitled, “Of Reminiscences and Re
flections.”
He has written several major books
and his long list of awards includes
more than 10 honorary doctorates.
Unfold sleeper sofa i
for tired ‘Hideaway’
By Gerry Beltz
Film Critic
Can we all say “tedious?”
Webster’s New World Dictionary
defines “tedious” as “long and dull.”
Future editions should include the
movie “Hideaway” as an example.
Director Brett Leonard (“The
Lawnmower Man”) tries again to
bring mental imagery to the big
screen, but this time he doesn’t do
anything very interesting.
Most of the special effects are
brought on when Hatch Harrison (Jeff
Goldblum) dies. Harrison is a mild
mannered antique dealer who drowns
in a car accident, but his wife (Chris
tine Lahti) and teen-age daughter
(Alicia Silverstone) manage to sur
vive.
Although he is clinically dead for
more than an hour, Dr. Jonas Nyebem
(Alfred Molina, “Maverick”) uses a
mysterious (or never explained) re
suscitation formula to bring Hatch
back to life.
But he’s not alone... sort of. Hatch
is now psychically connected to an
other man, who is a psychopathic
murderer.
Hatch can see through the
murderer’s eyes, who in turn can see
through Hatch’s eyes, and the game
of cat-and-mouse begins.
Nobody believes Hatch can “see”
these things, not even his wife and
daughter. However, since Hatch has
been leading the police to a whole
slew of crime scenes, they begin to
suspect he committed all the crimes.
Film: “Hideaway”
Stars: Jeff Goldblum, Christine
Lahti, Alicia Silverstone
Director: Brett Leonard
Rating: R
Grade: D+
Five words: Psychic-type
thriller with twist.
Oh, there’s a big surprise! I think
I’m going to have a heart attack and
die from that surprise!!
This is where the plot should turn
and flip, where the suspense that has
been building throughout the movie
should really get tense. But none of
this happens.
There’s nothing. There’s only one
plot twist, and it’s not even that inter
esting.
Everyone in this film is guilty of
overacting, with the exception of
Silverstone, who shows all the acting
ability of a side of beef. She gave a
better performance in the Aerosmith
video “Crazy” than she did here.
Again, there’s no suspense, and
the ending is absolutely stupid. A
great deal is never explained, such as
the fact that these two guys seem to
have an amazingly fast healing rate.
And how did they get connected in
the first place?
The special effects are pretty good,
but they are too few and far between
to make the movie worth seeing.
