Formed in the 90s, angst-rock act Skunk Anansie made two albums on the indie imprint One Little Independent Records before signing to Virgin Records. 1999's Post Orgasmic Chill was hugely successful but became their first and final album for Virgin as they went on a ten year hiatus two years after its release.
With major label budgets at-hand, the British band shipped themselves over to New York City and New York state to record with Andy Wallace, who had worked with Slayer and Nirvana. The brutal heaviness is glorious on tracks such as 'We Don't Need Who You Think You Are' and 'The Skank Heads'. Meanwhile, 'Lately' is Manic Street Preachers-esque and 'Secretly' sees them employ a more tender approach with atmospheric strings front and centre. Elsewhere, their hit single 'Charlie Big Potato' is akin to nu-metallers Evanescence and there's flashes of The Prodigy.
Naturally, whenever it comes to settling on a tracklist to deliver a record there are some tracks that don't make the final cut for brevity. But with a quarter of a century now passed and a lot of people keen to have the companion information, the 25th anniversary edition of the album includes ten B-sides, many of which have never been on vinyl before. And the double record comes on a psychedelic double yellow/purple splatter vinyl, which is a truly stand-out piece to marvel at.
