BAUHAUS "BELA LUGOSI'S DEAD" (SLOW TO SPEAK MIX)

******SPECIAL HALLOWEEN RELEASE!!******

A perfect heralding of the special morbidity that is Halloween, “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”---the obscure 12”-only masterpiece from indisputable goth/rock kings Bauhaus---finds itself under the scruple of the scalpel wielded with curious biological fascination of self-endowed surgeons slow to speak. While his body remains mostly in tact, a few “arrangements” have been made to Mr. “Lugosi’s” corpse: the pettiness of a few vocal mishaps are swept away and the entire bone structure extended to uncanny length to produce a concentrated specimen of dark, funky percussive rock mastery. Not shying away from the allegedly childish implications of this special time, slow to speak embrace them ten-fold, blowing into their trumpets of dark calling the clear echo of gruesome display and musical fascination of aural celebration, the edit’s stripped down, haunted wailings a cursed display of grotesque celebration that beckons forth the children of the night to put down their keyboards, espresso-machines and whatever other modern tools of wage-labor to march in unison to the dark calling of the equinox. Obviously this mutated savagery has made “Lugosi’s” corpse primed and ready for the party or individual autopsy, and for this purpose his remains should be exploited to the maximum effect. We can only hope that his spirit lives on through this especially limited, hand-silk-screened-sleeve release to haunt future generations unprepared for the fury of Bauhaus’ exceptionally noteworthy work.
