    It's 1986 and all of a sudden these ex-Bauhaus types appear on The Chart Show complete with a fabulous video which makes those of us who didn't keep up suddenly realise that we should have - 'Yin and Yang (The Flowerpot Man)' is taken from the Express album and brightened up many lives back in the Autumn of 1986. Enjoy.

    I met Daniel randomly in Ojai, CA. He was a neighbor of a friend who was having a house party. No one at the party knew who he was but Mr. Ash invited me over to chat and listen to music for a bit. He kindly accepted the whiskey that we provided for him. All around good fellow.

    @jasonpaulelder 4 роки тому +10

    I saw this debut on MTV's 120 minutes show at the time. It was such a great surprise how they were creating many videos rather quickly. I'd say that it certainly grew more fans as a result. Once they had a collection of their music videos on VHS (including a special guest appearance by the Bubblemen), called "The Haunted Fishtank," I received it as a Christmas gift.
    "Express" is such an excitingly energetic LP, overall (and, knowing it as leading with, "It Could Be Sunshine"). I just listened to it last night for the first in a long while, coincidentally. The melodic distortion and pop-like arrangements drove the album's sequence urgently like a locomotive; I suppose I should say, a "Kundalini Express." It was also at this time where I was just getting to know the discography of T. Rex, and could hear a healthy influence of Marc Bolan on Daniel Ash through the 4th to the 1st chord progressions.
    At commercial record stores and another privately owned shop, I bought anything I could find on them through EPs, t-shirts, pins, their first album, and then the treasure of learning about Tones on Tail.
    I should mention that although I knew of Bauhaus, I didn't actually start listening or collecting anything by them until about three years or more after Love and Rockets. They're certainly two bands, regardless of the common threads, and I needed time to get to know that library (and then followed Peter Murphy's career as well).
    Anyway, I could probably write more, but I think I've adequately shown my appreciation in this comment.

    • @Spacegal-333.3

      So many great videos, and low budget. Not the glossy slick nonsense of the 80's video era.
