Album History
Siouxsie and Budgie decided where to record the album by randomly placing a pin on a map of the world; the result was the U.S. state of Hawaii. Several songs are about their experiences in that region, including "Festival of Colours" and "A Strutting Rooster".
The song title "InoaŹ»ole" is Hawaiian for "no name". "Ice House" was inspired by an obscure television play. "Dancing on Glass" is based on an Indian musical: during the studio-session, sounds of broken glass were created by Siouxsie and Budgie dancing on broken mirrors with tough shoes on.
The single "Miss the Girl" is a combination of a love affair and a crash car: it was inspired by the book Crash, by J. G. Ballard.
