Bauhaus - In The Flat Field (REMASTERED 180g LP006)

Pressed on 180g VINYL, this LIMITED EDITION of 5000 copies in its original form with the un-airbrushed sleeve and inner bag. Remastered from the original analogue tapes, the disc features a picture label on the A side, with a heavyweight inner bag and the original sleeve printed on a 350g heavyweight double white heavy board. Bauhaus slid fully formed from punk rock’s womb in late 1978. Over the course of four hot years, they unintentionally birthed a genre (Goth), moved on, moved forward, and surged mercurial through the post-punk music scene, tearing into tense, bass-driven new-wave, T-Rex-esque dark-glam, and swirling, clattering, orchestral atmospherics, whilst churning it into a grand, velvet, Rimbaudian hallucination. To pin the band to one genre is nothing but reductive. Their influences run deep, encompassing everything from dub reggae to proto-electronic bands like Can and Suicide. As the NME says, “Bauhaus are to Goth, what Radiohead are to Prog.”
