 | Urine Place by Tiger Lillies
Buy new: £10.79 The benefits of a full orchestra are on display here... especially in the haunting 'Drowning' and the operatic ghastliness of 'Gonhorrea'.
|
 | 2 Penny Opera by Tiger Lillies
Buy new: £11.98 My personal favourite, if only for 'Mary', complete with percussion that sounds like Adrian is demolishing a xylophone
|
 | Death and the Bible by Tiger Lillies
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £7.99 Possibly their weakest album, being slightly repeditive, but some very unique instruments being used - including what sound like sackfuls of cutlery on 'Mary Magdelana'
|
 | Farm Yard Filth by Tiger Lillies
Buy new: £10.79 / Used from: £7.65 An upbeat collection of bestiality, the standouts easily being the famous 'Hamsters', 'Flies' and 'Aunty Mabel'
|
 | The Sea by The Tiger Lillies
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £7.68 A haunting bag of tunes, lacks any stand-out tracks, but no real flops
|
 | Circus Songs by The Tiger Lillies
Buy used from: £8.99 One of their best, 'Pretty Lisa' being possibly Martyn's most unnerving song
|
 | Jacques: Shockheaded Peter - A Junk Opera by Martyn Jacques
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £7.95 Short but sweet, the centrepiece being the souped-up version of 'Snip Snip'
|
 | The Gorey End by Kronos Quartet
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £7.46 An uneven collection, but worth buying just for the original version of 'Gin', my favourite song
|
 | The Brothel to the Cemetery by The Tiger Lillies
Buy used from: £9.33 Plays practically like a greatest hits album, with their #1 'Banging In The Nails' plus 'Alone With The Moon', 'Tiger Lillie Line' and 'Terrible'. My top choice would be 'Crime', though
|
 | Births, Marriages and Deaths by Tiger Lillies
Buy new: £10.79 A surprisingly polished collection for an early album. 'Wake Up' isn't a patch on their current live version, but 'Heroin and Cocaine' is a killer
|
 | Punch and Judy by Tiger Lillies
Buy new: £10.79 A contender for best album, with sadistic ditties 'Mummy Loved Me', 'Why Am I Alone?' and 'Deranged'
|
 | Spit Bucket by Tiger Lillies
Buy new: £10.79 / Used from: £8.05 Lyrically creepy and low-key, the band's first album. 'Promised Land' is curiously uplifting though
|
 | Ad Nauseam by Tiger Lillies
The best of their early albums, with many of my favourites, including 'Jesus', 'Five O'Clock' and 'Beat Me'
|
Listmania!
