BACK AGAIN: GOTHIC / WAVE / DARK-WAVE
| BAUHAUS - Gotham (DCD) (KK Records) Well, here are the "godfathers" of Gothic-Rock back again with an live album, recorded on their reunion tour some time ago. What to exspect? BAUHAUS playing their hits live and let you think, that they never had gone away for years. They really sound like in their best times and they offer all the great hymns like "Double Dare", "In the Flat Field", "She´s In Parties", "Terror Couple Kill Colonel", "Telegram Sam", the Bowie cover "Ziggy Stardust", "Hollow Hills", "Kick In The Eye" and of course "Bela Lugosi´s Dead" plus some more. As a little bonus, we also get a studio recording of the Dead Can Dance cover "Severance" (plus a live version). It is strange, but this song could also have been a BAUHAUS original. As BAUHAUS fan everybody should get this DCD (also released as limited edition in a fold out Digi-Pak), but now we await new stuff by this band and hope, that they are still good enough to create such classics, that are featured live here.
