Should The World Fail To Fall Apart is the first album by Peter Murphy, formerly of the gothic rock band Bauhaus. It was originally released in 1986 and produced by Ivo Watts-Russell. Should The World Fail To Fall Apart is a collection of singles written and recorded in 1986 with I Howard Hughes with hopes of finding Peter a post-Bauhaus identity other than the 'godfather of goth'. The album displays a side of Peter Murphy rarely heard as the songs are very romantic and out of the mainstream. The sounds are soft and orchestrated, the lyrics are poetic and deep, atmosphere is spacious, and the general tone is somber and reflective.
