Mark E. Smith and company's 1996 album, "Sinister Waltz," arrived on Receiver Records as a curious document of the band's late-period explorations. The record is notable for its embrace of electronic textures and spoken-word passages, a departure from their more guitar-driven work.
- The album was recorded at The Church studio in Crouch End, North London, with producer Steve Osborne.
- "Sinister Waltz" reached number 81 on the UK Albums Chart upon its release in January 1996.
- The album was originally intended to be a more electronic-focused project, but elements were re-recorded with a more traditional rock band lineup.
