DARK ADAPTED EYE

Mixing a Gothic vibe with experimental sounds and a remarkably versatile voice, Danielle Dax left a lasting mark on Classic Alternative music. Her expression was highly visual as well, as depicted on her record sleeves, music videos and in photographs. Musically, there were no boundaries. Her voice could waver up to beautiful highs or down to menacing lows as she strummed a guitar over a dark dance tune or plucked a banjo over a quirky country-tinged number. Her lyrics could tackle religious hypocrisy with the catchy dance beat of Big Hollow Man, address a cheating partner with the bouncy toe-tapper Touch Piggy's Eyes, or conjure a Glam rocker on the single Cat-House. Originally released in 1988, this compilation represents the always captivating Danielle Dax from 1985-1988.
