Great Goth... 17 May 2004
By Richard Kelly TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Bauhaus breezed onto the music scene in 1979 and were instantly derided as being passe and harking back to earlier David Bowie material. What was missed at the time as that a new Genre of music was germinating from the seeds that David J, Daniel Ash, Kevin Haskins and Peter Murphy were planting.

Listening to these tracks again it is surprising how fresh they are and how well the music stands up to modern comparison. The vocals of Murhpy range from gloriously languid to demonic screams. Daniel Ash coaxs all sorts from noises from his guitar. David J is pounding on the bass. Kevin Haskins is tribal on drums.

These tracks have defined the Gothic music scene for over 20 years now. If you want to see where it all started listen to Bela Lugosi's Dead and Dark Entries.

If you like Gothic music then these tracks MUST be in your collection - if only these guys could have stayed together longer the whole face of gothic music could have been different (and probably better).

Format:Audio CD
Bauhaus' arrival in 1979 hailed the beginning of experimental goth rock, even though their music was never really intended for the shoegazing fraternity which was to follow. This worthy and well-packaged compilation takes us through a brilliantly unique musical maelstrom, covering their truly pioneering ouput between 1979 and 1985.

Aside from the omission of the extremley creepy Stigma Martyr, this is generally an excellent collection of their finest moments. This also demonstrates how vastly diverse their music could be, from the minimalist gothic epic of Bela Lugosi's Dead (one of the longest single releases of all time) to what can only be described as a 'pop' single with the excellent Kick In The Eye. Other highlights include the brilliantly obscure Terror Couple Kill Colonel, the uplifting Spirit and their last single, The Sanity Asassain, which manifested a more mainstream sound and perhaps partly-resulted in their demise soon after (singer/songwriter Peter Murphy's solo-career is also worth following).

Beggar's Banquet Records may well have questioned the name of the band (named after a German architectural style based on brutal modernist concrete designs) but their music certainly fitted the name - brutal, brooding but never dull. At the time of their arrival they were regarded as experimental art rock goths and a tuneless, second-rate Cure or Siouxie. How wrong they were.

Dark majesty 22 Dec 2006
By Mr. Warren M. Fisher VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A must have, if for nothing more than the classic minimalist epic that is 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' and the bittersweet chamber piece 'Crowds', but there are many more tracks here to recommend. At their weakest Bauhaus hark back a little too much to seventies Bowie (indeed there cover of 'Ziggy Stardust' is so faithful as to be redundant), but that is no bad thing. At their best Bauhaus are untouchable.

Bleak, moving and deeply exciting.

very alternative goth, but very nice if you have the aquired taste

great if you want to experiment, its sortof 80s/goth/alternative/partial instrumental crossover. Read more
