...you wont be disappointed.

Start with "Hedonism" and work your way up.

Used to love them, trip down to Amazon and some ordering methinks!

Also check out Skins solo albums - I had Fake Chemical State years back, was put onto it as Paul Draper had worked on it - fantastic combination of vocals and songwriting.

Still not as good as Mansun though.

She's actually a really nice lass, she was staying in the same hotel as me in Menorca around the time that 'Paranoid & Sunburnt' came out and we had a few drunken nights with her. I got her into Fear Factory as well, believe it or not! It was quite embarassing when my Dad made a joke about her not getting sunburnt, fortunatly she took it in the manner it was meant, luckily!

Amazing voice, but seemingly quite scary! Care more for their calmer stuff ie: Everyday Hurts etc.

Skin also did the vocals on a track called "Meat" on one of Tony Iommi's solo albums. Well worth checking out.

She has a great voice and quite a few tracks are immense with the volume up and the neighbours upset.

Used to listen to them about 10-12 years ago, I'll have to dig out the cd's from the back of the collection and give them a play....beer

Skunk Anansie were a fantastic band. Saw them a couple of time in the '90s. Skin's image and vocals were far more scary than the reality. When she speaks she has a very quiet voice. I believe the drummer is now with Feeder?

Aye, saw them myself back in the day, they rocked. Altho sometimes I prefer their quieter stuff like Infidelity.

Many a family holiday journey were taken up with Skunk Anansie and Alisha's Attic in the tape player!
