Anima Animus (1999) Hai! (2003)

Hai! is the fourth album to be released by British duo The Creatures. The album was recorded in two parts. The first part was recorded by Budgie and Kodo drummer Leonard Eto in Tokyo. The second part of the recording process took place in Europe with Siouxsie Sioux providing vocals. An instrumental version of the album was given a limited release.

Mark Paytress from Mojo praised the album : "Guaranteed to re-ignite the enthusiasm of lapsed Banshees devotees, it'll likely prompt more than a few disbelievers to take note, too. Those big, Bonham-like beats are Sumo-sized headlocks. But Hai! boasts more than a few moments of jasmine-scented intimacy, where Sioux's inimitable Banshee yelp does daintily nuanced dances to Budgie's intricate marimba manipulations. A robust return". 4/5
