Music reviews of In The Flat Field (Reis)
Music Review: The Essential Document of the Gothic Movement
Rating: 5 Stars
Although being the band that basically created a musical genre and subcultural lifestyle, Bauhaus first and foremost are collective creative genius. You can argue all you want that bands like "Sisters of Mercy" and "Alien Sex Fiend" and "Specimen" (...and on into infinity) were superior to Bauhaus when it came to goth rock, but the truth is that none of the aforementioned bands touched on any of the styles that Bauhaus were able to dabble in with effortless perfection.
In The Flat Field being the first studio album from Bauhaus, the album showcases an array of goth rock cornerstones while also offering a handful of tracks showing that Bauhaus were definitely willing and able to take risks. Dirge-y anthems such as "Double Dare", and "Stigmata Martyr", basically set the template for what gothic music was supposed to sound like. However, with tracks such as "God In An Alcove", and "Dark Entries" the band seem to be saying to the intended audience "Who says we can't dance AND be mopey bastards?". Taking time away from crunchy death-rock and post-punk goth musings, the real artistry that would later be found on Bauhaus waxwork's "Swing the Heartache BBC Recordings" and "Sky's Gone Out" is shown briefly in such experimental pieces as "Nerves", "Rosegarden Funeral of Sores", and "Crowds". The only downfall? The just barely forgiveable cover of "Telegram Sam" that seems to have been put on every recording they ever did just to spite me.
So let's take in everything we've learned. Bauhaus created a genre, birthed a subculture of death-obsessed rock n' roll that could be spooky, dancey, and experimental all at once without losing site of a unique vision. This is the album where it started and if you're interested in learning about the Gothic subculture, or just curious to find a band that may very well expand your musical horizens, this is the album to start with.
Key Tracks: "Stigmata Martyr", "God In An Alcove", "Nerves"
