5.0 out of 5 stars Bauhaus Brilliance, 4 Nov 2003
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
Being an acquired taste, Bauhaus is best introduced to the newcomer through a Best Of collection. And this is the superior compilation by far from this pioneering goth band as it contains all of their early classics, including rare singles and a great choice of tracks from the first two albums In The Flat Field and Mask.

My personal favorites are the deranged Stigmata Martyr with its scary Latin recitation, St. Vitus Danse, A God In An Alcove and The Passion Of Lovers plus the early singles Telegram Sam, (their tribute to Marc Bolan of T. Rex) and this live version of the legendary Bela Lugosi’s Dead. Other great moments are Spy In The Cab, Terror Couple Kill Colonel and Hair Of The Dog.

Inspired by The Cure and The Banshees, Bauhaus were brave pioneers who chisseled out their own very distinctive sound and never compromised with commerciality. Their music remains inspiring albeit sometimes inaccessible, but always innovative. I would also like to recommend Peter Murphy’s solo albums where he took the Bauhaus vision further, in a generally more melodic and accessible style.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview, 3 Jul 2003
If you want a good sampler of Bauhaus' music, then you can't do better than getting your hands on Volume 1 and 2 of this set.
Right from the outset, you dark, almost trance-like quality of Pete Murphy's vocals, and atmospheric and inventive use of instruments makes for a brooding tonal landscape.
Bauhaus are often credited as being the godfathers of Gothic music, but that is probably doing them a disservice. You won't hear this level of inventiveness in either their contemporaries or the following gothic music.
I personally prefer volume 2. The closing song, "Crowds" is spat with such venom that you know he means it, even if some of the lyrics are a bit dubious!
As for Volume 1. There's a range of music from the almost bouncy (!) cover Telegram Sam, to the incredible classic "The Passion of Lovers" and the submarine-esque soundscape of "Double Dare".
There are a few tracks that arent as good, You'll recognise them instantly, as the vocals are incredibly wishy washy!
Try it if you want to stretch your musical imagination.
