English
singer/musician Peter Murphy is considered the "Godfather of Goth"
music, which is an art-based rock music with dark overtones. He found
success in the late 70's with his band Bauhaus before pursuing a solo
career in 1986 and finding success on the U.K. album charts. His latest
release is an unreleased live album from his "Wild Birds Live
Tour" in 2000. It was released on February 12th through Cleopatra Records and
features 2CDs of a revived Murphy, who returned to performing live
following his "greatest hits" compilation.
The shows
features 18-songs from Murphy's solo catalog, beginning with his
earliest single "Final Solution," with it's industrial, post-punk feel.
He then hits a modern rock groove while reeling off the up-beat "Scarlet
Thing In You," "Wild Birds" and "Mirror To My Woman's Mind." The always
experimental Murphy displays some of his artistic pieces like "Subway"
and "Surrendered," while also pouring his emotions into "Hit Song" and
"Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem." He proudly serves up his biggest hit
singles, "Indigo Eyes" done acoustically as he jokes with the audience, and
"Cuts You Up" is delivered with pride and meaning. The shows closes with the
electronic beats of "Roll Call - Recall" and the exciting, eight-minute
delivery of "Huuvola." To find out more about Peter Murphy's latest live album "Wild Birds Live Tour," please visit cleorecs.com.
