Bau Haus - in the middle of the road

 

That is a bit like a cross between this 

and this 

or perhaps I mean this ?

either way, exemplary postpunk  (there's also some JoyDiv in there too)

Great guitar - how many different parts / textures are layered and interwoven there?

I taped "Terror Couple Kill Colonel" off Peel (or was it off Paul, from the actual 7-inch? doesn't seem like something Mr Oldfield would buy but I sense-remember its presence on a tape of his singles I made... ) but anyway I had it, on tape, and really liked it. 

It's a shame Bauhaus then became such a reliable supplier of arrant nonsense

But even then, some thrilling, flashy singles... 

And of course 

And a good version of this by (Third) Uncle Brian

Here's the missus, aka Joy Press (an accredited Goth) summing up the discography of Bauhaus and its afterbirth in the Spin Guide to Alternative Music (1995)
