One must feel rather special indeed to be at the birth of an entire music genre, and surely Peter Murphy is one of these rare individuals who, on his own or with a band, have changed the face of music. With Bauhaus, his band, they put down the basis of Goth, a cavernous music/social genre which would explode back late seventies, go mainstream and send tremors as far as these recent years with, for example, the success of the Twilight books and movies.
Who would have think that, at the core of Bauhaus, lays an immense input from....reggae, a music genre generally associated with sunshine and beaches, not black clothes !
It's all here, in this article from http://thequietus.com/articles/06637-peter-murphy-bauhaus-interview with great and warm feedback from Peter Murphy about Mick Karn, Bauhaus or his own work.
