Creatures - A Bestiary Of

"A Bestiary of" is basically a CD compilation of the double single “Wild things” and the album “Feast” plus a few bonus B-sides and the single version of Right now.
For anyone who doesn’t know the Creatures were Siouxsie and drummer Budgie from Siouxsie and the Banshees, who decided that the vocal/drum only sound, worked well … I agree.
As well as the known singles there are some truly brilliant tracks here, Sky train and Festival of colours being my own favourites, although the track "Flesh" still sounds weird to me.
