PETER MURPHY
Cascade
2021 UK 2xLP reissue
Scarlet vinyl

I’m a huge fan of Peter Murphy’s solo albums, and to be honest, I love them WAY more than any Bauhaus album. I even prefer Dali’s Car to Bauhaus.

I was overjoyed when they reissued all of these, in particular THIS and Holy Smoke (my two favorites).

Cascade is a much more electronic-tinged and atmospheric effort than previous ones. The songs are very melodic with some ambient flourishes, loops, keyboards, and VERY well produced.

“I’ll Fall With Your Knife” is a GREAT song, as is “Wild Birds Flock To Me”, and the record on whole is quite refined.

Not hardcore Murphy fans’ favorite, but definitely a favorite of mine.

Peter Murphy And Boy George Release A New Remix Of Collaborative Song “Let The Flowers Grow (Delerium Remix)”

Legendary artists Peter Murphy and Boy George joined forces in late 2024 for the release of the gorgeous orchestral single ‘Let The Flowers Grow’. Produced by Youth (Pink Floyd, Killing Joke, The Orb, Paul McCartney, etc), it saw both singers deliver a powerful message of acceptance and hope. Its initial premise about George’s personal acceptance of being gay took a more expansive and universal scope as the song developed, its lyrics extending beyond sexuality and embracing race, gender, creed and religion.

A remix of ‘Let The Flowers Grow’ by the Vancouver, Canada based Delerium is available from today. Well known as the electro-industrial duo of Front Line Assembly’s Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber in ambient-techno guise, they have provided a regally refined treatment of a song that they describe as “a soulful journey of endearing sentiments where poetry and music collide.” It provides a neat contrast to an intensely epic psytrance workout by Ben Watkins of Juno Reactor that was issued in late 2025 STREAM | BANDCAMP.

The original version of the song proved so popular with fans that it was added to Murphy’s acclaimed 2025 album ‘Silver Shade’ as a bonus track. Voted the no. 2 Album of the Year by Vive Le Rock magazine in the UK, ‘Silver Shade’ is available to stream HERE and can be purchased via Bandcamp HERE.

Goth Icons Remixed: Peter Murphy And Boy George Single Gets Epic Electronic Rework

The gorgeous orchestral single ‘Let The Flowers Grow’ by Peter Murphy and Boy George has received a new remix from the Brighton-based group Juno Reactor. The original, produced by Youth, delivered a powerful message of acceptance and hope. Juno Reactor’s remix, typical of founder Ben Watkins’ style, fuses electronic, global, and orchestral symphonic styles, giving the goth/new wave track an epic quality. The original single was so popular it was added as a bonus track to Murphy’s acclaimed album Silver Shade.

Bauhaus, 4AD, 1983 on 4AD

Yes, I did save this one for halloween. This was a compilation EP of the singles versions of “Dark Entries,” “Telegram Sam,” and “Terror Couple Kill Colonel.” Love that back cover photo.

I was today years old when I realized that John Cale wrote “Rosegarden Funeral of Sores,” the opening triplet of which is burned into my adolescent brain so much it still comes up whenever I am tired of dealing with people:

Virgin Mary was tired so tired / Tired of listening to gossip / Gossip and complaints

My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a UK pressing with a white b-side label, pressed by Damont. I don’t believe this was ever issued in the US.

Bauhaus, In The Flat Field, 1980 on 4AD

Debut album from Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David Jay, and Kevin Haskins aka Bauhaus. Bauhaus and its many spinoffs (Tones on Tail, Love and Rockets, Dali’s Car) are among my favorite musical lineages.

They’d released “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” as a single in 1979 on Small Wonder records, but this debut came out on 4AD which itself was new in 1980 under the Beggars Banquet umbrella.

The cover is a photograph called Homage to Purvis de Chavannes by American photographer Duane Michals – hopefully it doesn’t get my account flagged as naughty.

My copy – as so many in the last few weeks via Slipped Disc at a Mill No 5 record fair – is a 2013 reissue.

So, what if #Bauhaus had been a #surf band? Yup, not the kind of question any sane person asks, but that's not why you're here, is it?
