The debut album by as merry a crew of reprobates as rock has produced, Who’s Been Sleeping In My Brain? clearly showcases Alien Sex Fiend as perfect jokers in the pack when came to early goth days. Nik Fiend, equal parts Screaming Lord Sutch, Alice Cooper and Hammer horror, might almost be the UK’s best equivalent to Lux Interior, while the mix of rock crunch and electronics, the latter courtesy of the only other full time member since, Mrs. Fiend herself, results in a careening caper through songs like “Ignore the Machine” and “New Christian Music.”
