小简介
是的,Peter Murphy ,这个包豪斯(Bauhaus)的前主唱,哥特音乐的曾经代表人物 最开始注意到这个人是因为听说窦唯曾经非常推崇彼得,甚至卧室中贴满了包豪斯的海报,窦唯最为人称道的《黑梦》 更是充满了Peter Murphy的影子,从音乐的形式,内容,唱法,无不非常相似--虽然窦唯自己否认这样的看法。 不过窦唯后来为了摆脱Peter Murphy的影响,曾经把自己收藏的所有的关于包豪斯和Peter的CD都抛入了河中--那是后来的事情了。 再到后来,我们听到了窦唯的云雾缭绕的新民乐....... 我最早听Peter Murphy还是有一次去青岛,GF领着我去当地的一家音像店,那个老板很明显是比较识货的人,记得那次还找到了好多喜欢听的东西 Peter Murphy ,那微有震颤的嗓音
Despite having a successful solo career as a cult artist, vocalist Peter Murphy remains best known as the lead vocalist for Bauhaus, the pioneering post-punk goth rock band of the early 80s.
After disbanding Bauhaus in 1983, Murphy formed Dalis Car with former Japan member Mick Karn. Dalis Car only released one album, The Waking Hour, in 1984. Following its release, the duo broke up and Murphy hesitatingly began a solo career with a cover of Magazines The Light Pours Out of Me, which was featured on a 1985 Beggars Banquet compilation called The State of Things. In 1986, he released his first full-fledged solo album, Should the World Fail to Fall Apart, which featured a number of guest artists, including former Bauhaus member Daniel Ash. Two years later, Murphy released his second solo album, Love Hysteria. Like its predecessor, Love Hysteria received lukewarm reviews but sold well to his dedicated fan base.
With 1990s Deep, Murphy had a surprise hit — the first single from the record, the Bowie-esque Cuts You Up, became the American modern rock hit of the year, spending seven weeks at the top of the U.S. charts and crossing over to AOR radio and the pop charts, where it peaked at number 55. Following its success, Deep reached number 44 on the album charts. Murphy wasnt able to sustain that success with his next album, 1992s Holy Smoke, which only reached 108 on the charts, despite the number two modern rock hit The Sweetest Drop.
In 1995, Murphy released Cascade, which was greeted with weak reviews. The album failed to chart in either America or Britain. While touring with a reunited Bauhaus in 1998, he recorded the solo EP Recall. The new millennium, however, saw a newly charged Murphy. Without a deal, he took to the road in support of the greatest-hits retrospective Wild Birds 1985-1995: The Best of the Beggars Banquet Years for two tours of the U.S. during spring and fall 2000. The latter tour, which was more acoustically based, showcased some new material and rare favorites. Still a cult mainstay with American fans, Murphy issued the live double-disc Alive Just for Love in summer 2001. This delightful set was released by Metropolis and featured Bauhaus tracks and solo hits. A year later, he hooked up with renowned world artist Mercan Dade for this sixth studio album, Dust. Unshattered followed in 2004.
