Today while coming to work I put this collection of Bauhaus on the headphones and it was a sea of memories and at the same time several blurs in the memory worn out by the excesses of a disorderly and happy youth.
Swing the heartache compiles the various passages of the fathers of gothic rock through the Beeb between 1980/83 in the programs of the masters John Peel and David Jensen, and even though it does not have the same historical weight as the records 1979–1983has the same emotional value to me.
Obviously the live versions of “In the flat field”, “Third uncle”, “Ziggy stardust”, “She's in parties” (the most gothic dub of all time, or vice-versa), the hallucination of the sample in the jazzy “Party of the first part” and the unusual and garage version of “Night time” (by Strangeloves) give this album the 'historical weight' mentioned in the paragraph above, but man, what importance does all this have to a 14, 15 year old stoned on pills and vodka?
“Learning lines in the rain
Special effects by loonatik and drinks
The graveyard scene
The golden years…”
Listen to it!
