CD Description
Peter Murphy's 1989 solo album gained him an even wider audience. Aided by the boom in alternative radio outlets, Murphy reached a demographic too young to remember his old band, Bauhaus. Luckily, this exposure was not wasted, as DEEP delivers the goods.
Continuing in Murphy's usual dramatic andmelodic style, "Marlene Dietrich's Favorite Poem" provides DEEP with a new romantic flair. Surprisingly radio-friendly,"Cuts You Up" and "A Strange Kind of Love" rival the pop genius of "Indigo Eyes". There are some harder tracks here, too--"The Line Between the Devil's Teeth" howls and screeches in Bauhaus style, while "Roll Call" and its "Reprise" show Murphy experimenting with tribal house beats and gothic/eastern samples. Peter Murphy's strongest solo effort to date, DEEP delivers a fix for fans of both old and new style Peter Murphy.
