A New Form of Beauty 1-4

The Virgin Prunes were masters of the uncanny, juxtaposing nightmares with lullabies, beauty with cruelty, combining gentle vocals and the spoken word with anguished wailing from purgatory itself. This first album powerfully laid out this terrain. Its themes ranged from mournful tales of unrequited love, frustrated sexuality, morbid eroticism and wasted youth, to yearnings for distant dreamlands which were juxtaposed with macabre visions of dystopian societies, overpowered by dark forces and where demons run amok. Guggi's art work for 'A New Form of Beauty', which intimates a heartless transaction within a domestic setting, is in keeping with this sensibility. This deluxe edition features all four parts remastered from original tape with brand new remixes and tape loop mashup by Apparition and Gavin Friday in a 2CD deluxe mediabook with a 16 page booklet containing brand new sleevenotes by Jon Wood and original Guggi drawings.
