A Kiss in the Dreamhouse is the fifth studio album released by Siouxsie and the Banshees and was issued by Polydor Records in the UK in 1982: it was reissued remastered and expanded in 2009. 　　The UK music press was unanimous in their praise for the album on its release. 　　Richard Cook in NME wrote: "'A Kiss In The Dreamhouse' is a feat of imagination scarcely ever recorded. It's breathtaking. Somehow, a bold assurance of intention has met with a hunger for experimenting with sound to expand an already formidable group of songs into pure, open-minded ambiguity. The flesh of the song will balloon out or contort into unimaginable patterns; indecipherable echoes volley between the walls of the recording; glassy, splintered tones pierce the luxuriant sheen of the mix. Repeated listens trick the sense of balance; tremendous risks are taken." Cook then finished his review by this sentence: "I promise. This music will take your breath away."
