"Fury Eyes" is the Creatures at full tilt: singer Siouxsie Sioux and drummer Budgie, the whole of the duo, writing together for their 1989 album Boomerang. The spark came from Philip Ridley's 1988 novel In the Eyes of Mr Fury, and Mike Hedges shared the production before Pascal Gabriel remixed it to go out as the album's second single, just ahead of the pair's first ever tour of Europe.
Even the sleeve had pedigree: Anton Corbijn and Area handled the artwork, from a photo shoot in Andalucía, Spain, in May 1989. American alternative radio took to it, and it reached 12 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks in March 1990.
