Sirens is the second album by rock group Sublime with Rome, which was released on July 17, 2015. It is the first album to include notable drummer Josh Freese following Bud Gaugh's departure in 2011.
"Wherever You Go" was released as the album's first single, reaching No. 17 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart.
Sirens has been given a Metacritic score of 48, indicating mixed or average reviews. Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone wrote that the album "stirs up the same hey-whatever mix of reggae, hip-hop and punk that made Sublime shirtless charmers 20 years ago", and David Jeffries of AllMusic judged this album "a step up" from their debut album Yours Truly. Garrett Kamps of Billboard magazine on the other hand thought that while "the tunes are competently rendered, but that actually makes them worse: That these guys are selling out shows as what amounts to a cover band is the kind of thing you need to be super-baked to wrap your head around."
Sirens (Ultradrug – Thee Sequel) is a remix album by Psychic TV. Sugar J remixes Godstar '94 (as Stargods) and Burned Out, But Building (as Skreemer), Andrew Weatherall remixes the track United '94 (as Re-United), and Psychic TV as DJ Doktor Megatrip remixes Love - War - Riot (as Sirens). The track Sirens is identical as the Love - War - Riot (Vocoder Mix) from the compilation "Origin Of The Species" Volume Too!, where it is correctly credited. The title references the earlier Psychic TV album Ultradrug.
"Thee SIRENS do not sing for me. They scream abuse, they signal rape. Their call is not to love, nor embrace, but a call to arms to destroy a race of those who can still think. A loud and burning issue bursts forth from flaming hole. Sighss and suckles, each moment power, and every cell a soul. An end to mark the start of TIME is only close in mind. Touch everything you can with dreams, and end thee SIRENS crime." (Old TOPI poem)
Astarte or Ashtoreth (Greek: Ἀστάρτη, Astártē) is the Hellenized form of the Middle Eastern goddess Ishtar, worshipped from the Bronze Age through classical antiquity. The name is particularly associated with her worship in the ancient Levant among the Canaanites and Phoenicians. She was also celebrated in Egypt following the importation of Levantine cults there. The name Astarte is sometimes also applied to her cults in Mesopotamian cultures like Assyria and Babylonia.
Astarte is one of a number of names associated with the chief goddess or female divinity of those peoples. She is recorded in Akkadian as As-dar-tu (𒀭𒊍𒁯𒌓D), the masculine form of Ishtar. The name appears in Ugaritic as ʻAthtart or ʻAṭtart (𐎓𐎘𐎚𐎗𐎚), in Phoenician as Ashtart or Aštart (𐤕𐤓𐤕𐤔𐤀), in Hebrew as Ashtoret (עשתרת). The Hebrews also referred to the Ashtarot or "Astartes" in the plural. The Etruscan Pyrgi Tablets record the name Uni-Astre (𐌖𐌍𐌉 𐌀𐌔𐌕𐌛𐌄).
Astarte was connected with fertility, sexuality, and war. Her symbols were the lion, the horse, the sphinx, the dove, and a star within a circle indicating the planet Venus. Pictorial representations often show her naked. She has been known as the deified evening star.
Astarte, choreographed by Robert Joffrey, was the first live, multi-media ballet with a specially commissioned rock music score composed and performed by Crome Syrcus. It received its world premier on September 20, 1967 and was performed by the Joffrey Ballet in New York at the City Center Theater. It was produced by Midge Mackenzie, with sets and lighting design by Thomas Skelton, costumes by Hugh Sherrer, and film created and photographed by Gardner Compton.
Astarte made the cover of Time Magazine in March 1968.
672 Astarte is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.
Absence of light
Paralyzing my fate
Salty beast of naked desires
(Silver Dance over the fullmoon rise
Come and goes, replaces the Darkness)
Summoning upon another reality.
Sailing to the unsafe kingdom of nymph
Cedar smoke of thyme (and)
Singing high and low
Eyes wet scanning the bare horizon
Her worm voice rose
Hellenic Gods watching seduction
Snake body linking
Ambrosia enslaved
Sirens, Mythic Desire
Sirens liar
Epilogue:
[Dark shoreline appeared
Earthquake broke the harmony
Liquidity of body and mind
[Shipping with the beast of beauty]
[Sea mirror's the elements of space
Replace the eye of truthful existence
