re: Bauhaus (For Zappa´s Stache)

Funny thing about Bauhuas is when they broke up, it created some even better music IMO with Peter Murphy's solo stuff and Love and Rockets. But I will go opposite of Degas. I slightly prefer Peter Murphy over L&R.

So much of their stuff was/is annoying, including Peter Murphy's solo crap. Dust is one of the worst albums of all time, and I saw him live on that tour. Probably the worst live show of any substantial artist that I've ever seen, right down to impersonating Bowie. (I can tolerate "Cuts You Up" as a pop song)

The only thing I'll agree about is the Dust Album. That's when he moved to Turkey and just went full... frick, what was that? take 7 years off, loose yourself in Turkish transcendental meditation? The follow up to that was unshattered and it still wasn't that good. However with Ninth, he went back to a Bauhaus sound I think it's great. Still not as great as his first few though.


I think by L&R self titled album, I couldn't take them anymore. I do have Lift though, it's so unlike their earlier stuff. But Seventh Dream, Express, Earth Sun Moon are great. I saw them at Tips with Janes Addiction and again at Saenger in '89. I think Daniel Ash's style of playing and sound is very unique and underrated.
