Lydia Lunch
Queen Of Siam (2009 Edition)
1980


Includes high resolution artwork, PDF presentation + 2 .mov files that were included on the disc

It was really good to see this record being re-released, as I never got any of the past releases and I found very hard to get those, I felt I was lucky enough with this one. Also, I saw that 13.13 was reissued this year and I\'m getting it soon :)

If you have any of Lydia\'s records, DVDs, amateur video recordings, interviews, please share it!

Record Collector review (http://www.recordcollectormag.com/reviews/review-detail/4060):
Quote:
After helping start New York’s No Wave movement and causing a commotion with the caterwauling assault of Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Lydia Lunch’s first solo album slipped into a new style of subtle seduction that resonated on a much deeper and disturbing level. Released in 1980 when the ZE label and Bob Blank’s New York studio were at their uproarious creative peak, Queen Of Siam was different from anything at the time, weaving elements of malevolent sexual harm, charred torch songs and dissonant urban commentary into an album which, unlike much from that period, hasn’t dated. Blackhearted death rattle ballads such as Mechanical Flattery and Tied & Twist sound even more striking today, outside of that unsettled post-punk time when music was awash with vacuous trends.

Lunch’s maturing as both lyricist and performer is striking, two contrasting covers perfectly illustrating her sprouting multiple personalities: a sultrily straight take on Classics IV’s Spooky and her parched reading of Rezso Seress’ infamous Hungarian suicide song Gloomy Sunday (enhanced video now added). But the real shock came with tracks such as Lady Scarface, boasting the lascivious big band jazz flare-ups of the Billy Ver Planck Orchestra: the perfect, tenement-at-night backdrop for Lunch’s entry into the world as a volcanically unique talent.

I\'m looking for (in lossless format):
- Lydia Lunch\'s records, videos, interviews (official and unnofficial)
- PJ Harvey\'s rarities/singles/EPs
- Sugarcubes\' rarities/singles/EPs
- Björk\'s rarities (anyone with \"Iceland Mysteries\" bootleg?) + SHM CDs
- Sugarcubes official VHS > DVD transfer of \"Murder and Killing In Hell\"
- There\'s a more complete FLAC wantlist on demonoid forums. You can view my requests and also make your own here:
