I have the EP 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' - an excellent piece of music. The tone of the song is very ominous and moody. Instrumentally, this song is very sparse, adding to the darkness and despair. I think these guys must have influenced a lot of the 'negative' sounds in the punk scene. Groups like 'Sisters of Mercy' and perhaps 'Joy Division'. I think that Bauhaus is now defunct, due to the suicide of one of its members, but I'm not totally positive about that. My brother has the EP 'Bauhaus - the Singles 1981-3', which I've been meaning to listen to. Maybe, I'll give it a chance this weekend. And, if I remember, I'll let you know what it's like.
