Bauhaus - 'Crackle' (1998 )
Cover pic.
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. While their following has never expanded beyond a cult, they kept their cult alive well into the '90s, a full decade after they disbanded.
Crackle – The Best of Bauhaus, sometimes referred to simply as Crackle, is a greatest hits compilation. The album was released in 1998, during the band's Resurrection Tour. It includes remastered versions of some of their single hits and most popular songs.
The band reformed again in 2005, with a world tour, and also further dates in the summer of 2006 with Nine Inch Nails, before calling it a day in 2008.
