Hai!

简介
Siouxsie & Budgie return as The Creatures with their emphatically titled 2003 album 'Hai!'. Translated, the title of this self-produced, Anglo-Japanese fusion means 'Yes!' & is released on their own Sioux Records label (distributed by Universal). As mysterious as the serene yet sensual beauty of the cover image by Japanese artist Kimiko Yoshida, 'Hai!' is an alchemy of distilled atmospherics & sublime minimalism. Yet as Siouxsie's vocals soar over Budgie's daredevil drums & marimbas, syncro-meshed to the pulsing Taiko rhythms of ex-Kodo drummer Leonard Eto, 'Hai!' soon splits several sonic skins to emit a roar that would rival that of Japan's most famous movie monster, 'Godzilla!', whose paean from Siouxsie is released as the album's first single. The second disc features instrumental versions of all nine tracks.
