Bauhaus Crackle 2LP (Vinyl)

Double LP Collects the Group's Greatest Hits!

Crackle (also known as Crackle: The Best of Bauhaus) is a greatest hits album by English post-punk band Bauhaus. The album was released in 1998 by record label Beggars Banquet, during the band's Resurrection Tour. It includes remastered versions of some of their single hits and most popular songs.

Bauhaus are the founding fathers of goth rock, creating a minimalistic, overbearingly gloomy style of post-punk rock driven by jagged guitar chords and cold, distant synthesizers. Throughout their brief career, the band explored all the variations on their bleak musical ideas, adding elements of glam rock, experimental electronic rock, funk, and heavy metal.

"It’s an excellent single-disc overview of the group’s brief career, containing all of their essential songs, from “In the Flat Field” and “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” to “Ziggy Stardust” and “Burning from the Inside.” It’s nice that there’s finally a thorough single-disc retrospective of the groundbreaking goth quartet." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com

And finally the 1998 compilation makes it onto vinyl. The tracks have been re-sequenced for the format and there’s a special substitution of an unreleased hybrid mix of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” featuring a 1982 studio vocal over a live backing track. The two disc set is packaged in a gatefold sleeve and, with under 20 minutes playing time per side, the cut is loud with minimum compression.
