Ground zero for goth-rock, Crackle holds 16 of Bauhaus’ most haunting tracks. Propelled by the booming baritone dread of vocalist Peter Murphy, the UK outfit’s compendium of singles and blood-thirsty deep cuts features frightfully inspired performances, across the board — from the graveyard dub experimentalism of signature single “Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” to the reckless nocturnal funk of “Kick in the Eye,” to black lipstick-smearing punk-outs like “Dark Entries.” Experience the chilling sound that’s shepherded the goth scene since the late Seventies across two slabs of ominous, all-black vinyl.
