Advantages: Bizarre, Dark, Gothic

Disadvantages: Bizare

Bauhaus's debut release is still as bizarre and entertaining today as it was back in the early eighties and recently, I finally had the chance to sit down and play In the Flat Field through in its entirety, and while their brand, or any brand of punk isn't really my sort of thing, Bauhaus's unique style is somewhat different... read on.

The group, certainly as far as this record, had a slightly gothic tinge thanks to some dark and mysterious moods, and combined with a relentless vocal assault the album works well as a whole, and it's no surprise they were invited to contribute to the equally bizarre Bowie / Deneuve movie ''The Hunger''.

This is one of those records would work brilliantly in a pitch dark room, and I dare say some of the various noises and vocals would be enough to create fear and paranoia... well worth the experiment, don't you think?

Summary: ****
