''Juju'' is the fourth studio album by British post-punk band Siouxsie and the Banshees. It was recorded at Surrey Sound studio with Nigel Gray as co-producer, and was released on 6 June 1981 by record label Polydor. Two singles were released from ''Juju'': "Spellbound" and "Arabian Knights". The album was commercially successful in the UK. It was acclaimed by critics upon its release, with praise given particularly to John McGeoch's unconventional guitar playing and Siouxsie's vocal performances. It remains a critical favourite and is seen as a landmark album of post-punk. == Background and release== After the slightly electronic bent of their previous album, 1980's ''Kaleidoscope'', Siouxsie and the Banshees returned to a guitar-based sound for ''Juju'', due to the presence of now-official guitarist McGeoch. The album also prominently featured the intricate percussion work of band member Budgie. According to Steven Severin: "''Juju'' was the first time we'd made a "concept" album that drew on darker elements. It wasn't pre-planned, but, as we were writing, we saw a definite thread running through the songs; almost a narrative to the album as a whole". The album was recorded at co-producer Gray's Surrey Sound studio. The sleeve reproduced a picture of an African statue that they found at the Horniman Museum in Forest Hill. ''Juju'' reached No. 7 in the UK Albums Chart, remaining in the chart for 17 weeks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Siouxsie & the Banshees (charts ) )〕 The album was remastered and reissued in May 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juju (Siouxsie and the Banshees album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
