Beggars Banquet

Bauhaus is an English Post-Punk band that was formed in Northampton in 1978. Originally named "Bauhaus 1919" after the school of the same name, they dropped the "1919" from their name within a year of being together.
After disbanding in 1983, Bauhaus reunited for a tour in 1998. Following the breakup, Daniel Ash, David Haskins, and Kevin Haskins pursued other musical projects while Peter Murphy collaborated with [a59922] for a year before embarking on a solo career.
The band reformed once again and embarked on another tour in 2005 but ultimately broke up for good in 2008 after releasing their final studio album "Go Away White".

Founded in 1977 by Martin Mills and Nick Austin, Beggars Banquet is a renowned UK indie label that has made its mark on the music industry. It all began with the release of two 7" singles by punk band The Lurkers. Since then, Beggars Banquet has evolved to encompass a diverse range of genres including punk, goth, synth-pop, folk-rock, and indie. With an impressive portfolio of spin-off labels such as 4AD, Situation Two, City Beat, and XL Recordings under its belt, Beggars Banquet has become part of the esteemed Beggars Group – one of the largest networks of indie record labels worldwide.

In April 2008, Beggars Group made the decision to retire the iconic Beggars Banquet imprint. However, key artists were seamlessly transitioned to another notable label within their roster – 4AD. This strategic move ensured that these talented musicians continued to receive the support and recognition they deserved.

Beyond their musical endeavors, it's worth noting that Beggars Banquet operates with utmost professionalism. Their business registration number is 1414047 and VAT number is 340 1066 10. These details further exemplify their commitment to transparency and excellence in all aspects of their operations.

Crackle is the second of Bauhaus' greatest-hits albums, following the import-only 1979-1983. The major difference between the two sets is that Crackle eliminates most of the cover versions that appeared on the earlier collection. the track listing draws from Bauhaus' entire career-from the defining first single, Bela Lugosi's Dead, all the way through She's in Parties and the title track of the band's final album, Burning from the Inside. All tracks have been remastered. This is especially evident on the band's earliest work. Dark Entries and Double Dare are afforded a cleaner sound, adding to their power. The lone cover included is a version of Ziggy Stardust, a David Bowie classic that clearly influenced the band. Though they will always be labeled as founding forefathers of the 'goth' rock movement, Bauhaus were never constrained by the label. Terror Couple Kill Colonel features a gentle, swaying groove. Silent Hedges is built on a foundation of acoustic guitar and a chunky, distorted bass line. Spirit features dueling guitars and a harpsichord. the collection concludes with one of the band's most emotive tracks, Crowds, a pretty piano-based song wherein tortured vocalist Peter Murphy wonders What Do You Want of Me?.
