Suspiria is the second album by Miranda Sex Garden, released in 1993. [4] [5] It saw them moving further into the sounds of darkwave and gothic rock.

The LP edition contains a slightly different track list from the CD and cassette versions, and does not include the band's rendition of the Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart song " My Funny Valentine". Instead, it closes with an a cappella version of "Feed".

Production

Unlike the debut, Suspiria was recorded with a drummer and a keyboardist/guitarist. [2]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the group's vocal style is more pungent and aggressive, with the heretofore dulcet tones of the group now transformed into wild, banshee-like shrieks and snarls." [1] Trouser Press wrote: "Reconfiguring itself for each song, MSG shifts comfortably between string-driven rock and more exotic mixtures, allowing the three soaring sopranos ... to dominate regardless." [6]
