miranda sex garden

miranda sex garden were a music group from london , england .
formed in 1990 , they were originally a trio of madrigal singers .
their first album , `` madra '' -lrb- 1991 -rrb- , was entirely a cappella , with the songs all based on traditional english verse .
it took only two days to record .
by their second release , `` iris '' -lrb- 1992 -rrb- , the sound evolved into a blend of their madrigal-styled vocals with sounds reminiscent of gothic rock , darkwave , ethereal wave , and industrial music .
their sound became increasingly dark and sophisticated over the years .
around the time of their third album , `` fairytales of slavery '' , they said they wanted to create music that evoked a `` seductive garden of earthly delights , full of colour and chaos . ''
