Bauhaus
Burning from the Inside
New Wave Post Punk back in stock 1983's 'burning from the inside' is bauhaus' most commercialsounding album it is arguably their most effective and sadly their last album as a group though numerous collections and live recordings have appeared in its wake this album shows all of the group's strengths bauhaus creates an immediately identifiable 'mood' in the mind of the listener as in the opening track 'she's in parties' they have an uncanny knack for revealing massive dense beats in the middle of what would be in others' hands straightahead rock songs bauhaus also has a unique ability to wring poignancy and nostalgia out of the weirdest lyrical constructs as in the album's centerpiece 'who killed mr moonlight' introduced by piano and mournful saxophone the album originally ended with 'hope' a brilliant threeminutes that advises make the most of a million times no with choral vocals a gorgeous thick bassline and a shimmering guitar the cd adds several bonus tracks from singles including the brutal dance groove of 'lagartija nick' one of bauhaus' most distinctive and successful singles this darkly gleaming jewel showcases the group's trademark echoed vocals and kevin haskin's uncommonly precise drumming with cool horn section inserts
