Free Music Review: Dare I say..... Essential (way to know Bauhaus)?
Hit: 5 Stars
This single disc of BBC recordings is a handy way to have the Bauhaus experience in it's most concentrated form. Bauhaus between 1980 and 1983 were a full-time group, and when they played live they did it very very well. They achieved legendary status with their live act. It's not just the unbridled imagination that constitutes their art, it's also the unfiltered, raw energy of their talent and honest approach to performance. Their performance had a capital 'P', which was willed by the desire to go for skillful provocation and full-on, risk-taking abandon. Such is the evidence found in Swing the Heartache. These 'live and in the studio for a day' sessions were done with an edge and immediacy far greater than the work they did for their record company. Pretty much each version here shreds the ones that reappear on the four proper albums. 'Swing the Heartache' has acoustic-sounding drums and sounds much better and twice as terse as it does on The Sky's Gone Out. Also, on this album you find the largest grouping of cover versions (Bowie, Bolan, Eno, etc.), tempered with the usual handful of their more left-field and far-out originals (an example in this case is the terrifically twisted, narrative-driven 'Departure').
Getting lost in the world of Swing the Heartache, it's possible to think 'Geez, this is bizarre to the average ear, but for the creatively inclined it sure is energizing and inspiring!' The sparks that flew off of the young Bauhaus quartet were as unique as is possible to be. The average musical acts that came after Bauhaus were what spurred the term 'Goth'. Bauhaus were just being themselves. Yet these days they seem so light in attitude that they just smile and give a shrugging response to the word 'Goth' as it's tagged to their identity. 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' (not on this album) is wonderful, original and may be their most 'Goth' and signature piece. But this may well be their most signature album in a hundred years. That's because it summarizes their career-spanning situation: Bauhaus in a room with nothing but themselves, the combustion of talent and the fleeting moment.
Not to be missed by anyone into or curious about Bauhaus. Also, it's got good cover art - which makes an impressive match to the music.
