I’m a big Deadhead - earlier tonight I listened to the entire second set of Cornell 5/8/77. I got Bauhaus’ “Mask” as an album tonight from the 1001 Albums Generator website. First five songs I was working on things around the house, it was mostly background music in my headphones, then as soon as I heard the bass line it grabbed my full attention. It sounds like something Phil Lesh would’ve laid down on a “Dancing in the Streets” from a late 70’s show!
80's bass & drum work truly astounding and super tight. Then they threw those awesome shimmering guitar attacks and sweeping hard synth sounds over it, and topped it off with disaffected vocals. Most genius era of music ever.
A Forrest is truly one of best atmospheric tracks ever made..Bauhaus Mask, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th Cure albums, are Some of the greatest records in existence.
@@matthews852 Clan of Xymox, Fields of The Nephilim, Christian Death, The Sistrers of Mercy, The Jesus and Mery Chain, The Mission... Lot of Great goth music around...
I love them after all these years, goth then still am at 55. Pure goth brilliant sophistication. Im goth till the day i die, brilliant funeral song. God bless all you beautiful goths world wide. Xx 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 xx
Bauhaus are fantastic as they were 30 years ago ! It is becoming more difficult to find bands that have the imagination and confidence that could not compete with the highest level of lyrics from Bauhaus today
And he spoke of pastures green I was never told why Each journey lasts an age And my throat feels dry It must be the lesson Hidden deep inside It must be the lesson So roll the tide So I began the crossing My throat burned dry Searching for Satori The kick in the eye I am the end of reproduction Given no direction Every care is taken In my rejection Kick in the eye Kick in the eye Kick in the eye Kick in the eye Every care is taken With my rejection And my abduction To my addiction Every care is taken With my protection And my abduction From my addiction Kick in the eye Kick in the eye Kick in the eye Kick in the eye
This was the very first song I had ever heard by Bauhaus, when I was in 7th grade. I never would have guessed how big of a part Bauhaus would play in my life later on.
Was well into them in my mid teens (59yrs old now)saw them many times. If you have not heard of or tried the Virgin Prunes, I suggest you give them a go. From the same era and totally unique...one of the best live bands ever.
Saw Peter Murphy live in late '80's in Atlanta. I was near the stage. Amazing show. He was a mental guru, with the lyrics, so to speak, in college days, with all the idiots around. Lol. I wish I could have seen Love and Rockets or Tones on Tail, too. 🎶🎉
I just bought an old car to do shows with. It has its origional radio cassette player so I searched the house to see what i could find.. I found the live album "press the eject and give me the tape" ohh memories.!
I actually was listening to more funk type of music, nothing too old or anything, a little later stuff, like funk rock type of stuff. I thought I was the only goth who also likes funky type of stuff. I also have other musical interests of course but I really like slap bass.
I remember when this track was released in March 1981. Went to see them a couple of times in the 80’s. When Murphy , Ash, J and Haskins were the original members.
I used to really love this song so much (used to be one of my favorite Bauhaus songs) until my dad killed it for me by saying that it sounds like "Last Train to London" by Electric Light Orchestra.
