First I heard of Bauhaus was the Bowie vampire movie The Hunger in da club scene Peter and crew do Bella. Some time later, a friend made me an assorted tape which included Bauhaus covers of Ziggy Stardust, and Thrid uncle, as well as Shes In Parties. Then eventually I picked up 79-83 (white cover) and Thwak!! there it was! This album kicks ass 20 ways to sunday! Double Dare, In The Flat Field, Stigmata Mayrtyr, God In An Alcove, ect ect. I love this disk.
The other compilation (Black cover) is also good, and it contains the aformentioned Bowie and Eno covers.
Then couple of years later, theres people that look like Bauhaus in the club scene running around all over the place. Strange.
