Don't forget to call them "goth" or "new-wave" when they were in the 80's.

Which means Siberia, their first album in four years, owes little to the cataclysmic transcience of immediate gratification and sees them sticking to their post new wave psychedelic swerves. It's precisely what the fans would expect and want. Not quite as exceptional as HUH or OR, this is nonetheless a record full of seance music, possesed of the sort of tunes that haunt you. From Stormy Weather to In the Margins, Make Us Blind to Siberia, it's an intimate album that still allows for crucial alienation. In other words prime Echo.
