Peter Murphy - Recall (1997)


Peter Murphy is know to many people as the "godfarther of goth" for being the root of the gothic genre. After the breakup of his former band Bauhaus Peter Murphy embarked on a solo career and had good success in America with the single "Cuts You Up". Peter had a seven year gap inbetween making solo albums from 1995-2002. The only new meterial to be released was the Recall EP. This featured two re-recorded songs from past albums and three other b-sides. The original version of the two songs to me seemed so much stronger most likely because the new versions key musical instrument seem to be keyboards. Prehapse the best song on the EP is "Surrendered" which has a strong "Arabic" theme to it which Peter's voice seems to fit perfectly into it.
