Bauhaus - Lagartija Nick single


This was a non-album single released by the British proto-Goth band Bauhaus in 1983, it appeared on both a 7" and 12" format on Beggar's Banquet. The version here posted is the 7" version. The single's title track would appear on the CD version of the band's album 1983 album Burning From The Inside. The b-side, Paranoia, Paranoia. Is composed mostly of studio noise, sound collage, random guitar parts and a kick-ass drum machine lol. Great single for Bauhaus fans.

Tracklist:

1. Lagartija Nick
2. Paranoia, Paranoia

Mediafire

All songs written and composed by Bauhaus (Peter Murphy, Kevin Haskins, David J, Daniel Ash)

Bauhaus - In The Flat Field (1998 CD Reissue)

This is the American CD version of the first album by the british Proto-goth/Post-punk band Bauhaus, originally released in 1980 on 4AD I think. It was originally poorly received but received an underground cult following. No singles were released from the album, but the CD version includes a bunch of non-album singles from around the same time. Nowadays its often viewed as a post-punk goth classic, if your gonna listen to any goth for the first time, then I recommend that you get this, it was my first album of "Goth" material (Spring 2008 lol). Infact for a long time (around 6 months), until listening to The Cure . I thought that Bauhaus was the only good Gothic band ever. Now I listen to Bauhaus, All Gone Dead, Sex Gang Children, The Cure.... its a very long list. So enjoy.

Tracklist:

1. Dark Entries
2. Double Dare
3. In The Flat Field
4. God in an Alcove
5. Dive
6. Spy in The Cab
7. Small Talk Stinks
8. St. Vitus Dance
9. Stigmata Martyr
1o. Nerves
11. Telegram Sam (T.Rex cover)
12. Rosegarden Funeral of Sores (John Cale cover)
13. Terror Couple Kill Colonel
14. Scopes
15. Untitled
16. God in an Alcove (Flexi version)
17. Crowds

All tracks written and composed by Bauhaus, except for track 11 (Marc Bolan) and track 12 (John Cale)

Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead

This was the first single by the great British Post-punk band Bauhaus. Its often viewed as being the beginning of the Gothic Rock genre (I disagree, it was Post-punk, proto-Goth). Anyways there have been two versions of this single. On composed with the A-side being Bela Lugosi is Dead and B-side being Boys. And one with the above tracks plus a demo version of Dark Entries on the B-side after Boys. This here is the latter version of the record. This single/EP has been continously in print for the past 30 years and the titile track wasn't availble on a format other than vinyl until the release of the greatest hits compilation Crackle-The Best of Bauhaus. Anyways its a great recommendation to anybody willing to discover Bauhaus or anyone new to "Gothic" music in general.

note: Apologies to Daniel Ash, Bauhuas guitarist, I know you dislike of the Goth term applied to your music.

Tracklist:

1. Bela Lugosi's Dead
2. Boys
3. Dark Entries (Demo)

All songs written and composed by Bauhaus.

Recorded on January 26th, 1979 at Beck Studios in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. Originally released in August 1979

Bauhaus - Go Away White

This was the fifth, final and last album by the great British Post-punk/Gothic band Bauhaus. The band was composed of vocalist Peter Murphy, guitarist Daniel Ash, bassist David J and drummer Kevin Haskins. The band's lineup was entirely the same in both their original (1978-1983) and reformed (2005-2008) stages. The band was originally called Bauhaus1919 after the German art movement but changed to simply Bauhaus, sometime in 1979. All of the band's members went on to do either solo projects or work with other bands since their demise.
Tracklist:
1. Too Much 21st Century
2. Adrenalin
3. Undone
4. International Bulletproof Talent
5. Endless Summer of The Damned
6. Saved
7. Mirror Remains
8. Black Stone Heart
9. The Dog's a Vapour
10. Zikir
If you ask me, this was on of the best albums of '08 and shows Bauhaus at its possible best.
