[kj] (OT) Peter Murphy- Ninth

[GREG SLAWSON]

Yes, this sounded pretty good compared to the snooze-fest I seem to remember from him in the past!

After several lack-luster albums, Ninth is approaching becoming a PM classic for me. It's already my fourth favorite one, and is beginning to surpass Should The World Fail To Fall Apart.
Also, STWFTFA has been re-issued in the UK on Cherry Red with a bonus disc of singles and rarities. The second CD has most of the tracks that comprised the ultra-rare Composition disc, along with outtakes and a Bowie cover. 

If you have written off Peter Murphy in the past, you should really check him out again. He's in fine form with this new album.

Afternoon laydeez and genulmen. I'm posting this because I know there's a number of Murphy/Bauhaus fans on the list.
 
I picked up Murphy latest album this morning. I'm a bit iffy on solo Murphy- there are great tracks on the first four albums, but his most recent works have failed to impress me. However, Ninth is rather good. Exceptionally good, actually. For a start, it's better than the reformed Bauhaus album (which I also liked). It's also one of his best solo albums. There are moments that aren't quite as good ('Peace to Each' is a little too close to a Velvet Revolver song), but most of it's great and the best tracks are *really* good. Like 'Seesaw Sway':

Worth checking out, at least.
