This style was described as similar to " Siouxsie and the Banshees jamming with Ace of Base". ''Assembly'' was the last Theatre of Tragedy album featuring the vocals of Liv Kristine.

A limited edition of the album contains the cover of "You Keep Me Hangin' On" as bonus track. The song was originally a hit by The Supremes and was also made fam ...
