Peter Murphy Cascade (Colored Vinyl 2LP)

Color Of Vinyl Subject To Change Without Notice / Call To Confirm Colored Copies Are Still Available

Peter Murphy's solo career began in 1986 with the release of Should The World Fail To Fall Apart and continues to this day. In addition to his work as the frontman of the legendary and groundbreaking Bauhaus, he has issued ten solo albums and several live releases. Beggars Arkive presents 2021 colored vinyl reissues for all five Peter Murphy solo releases on Beggars Banquet, plus the release of the brand new rarities album, The Last And Only Star. 

His last solo album for Beggars, 1995's Cascade, came after a time of change for Murphy. He had dissolved his longtime backing band and moved to Turkey with his family. After a year of soul-searching and re-discovery, the songs flowed. He said: "It confirmed my belief that writing – like painting or any art form – comes from a very silent place that's not dependent on outside stimulus. It was like rediscovering the initial innocence and purity that's there when you join your first band." The album was written with Paul Statham and produced by Pascal Gabriel. It also contains guitar work by noted artist Michael Brook.

The four bonus tracks added to Cascade here are: "Mercy Rain" (production rough mix), "Gliding Like A Whale" (backing track), "Sail on White" (backing track) and "Wish" (backing track).
