Reviews: A collaboration between Rose McDowall and Boyd Rice recording under the name of Spell, released in 1993 on Mute Records. The two cover a number of songs from the 1960s and 1970's, often modifying the lyrics to make them darker. For instance the line in the original song Seasons in the Sun: "Goodbye Papa, please pray for me" becomes "Goodbye Papa, don't pray for me". Several references to Hell and death are added as well.
