| Rate and Review: Peter Murphy
This is basically Hawks discog binge list repurposed a bit for reviewing (I promised to steal the idea, and so I did). There's a handful of musicians/bands with mostly or completely unreviewed discography whom I hope to cover with my reviews eventually. To keep the process systematic I will create a Rate and Review list for each of these artists. These will be updated gradually as I listen and write about the albums. Peter Murphy is the first in line, since I already wrote reviews for his first three albums. I will not write anything on "Ninth", because it already has a review by a different author, so for that album I will only provide my personal rating. | | 1 |  | Peter Murphy Should the World Fail to Fall Apart

02.10.26 | Very cool initiative! I haven’t heard any of his early albums since the later ones didn’t leave a huge impression, but admittedly I didn’t spend much time with them. 2 looks promising, will check! Also, this list made me realize that Ninth may be his eighth album smh. | LouBreed
02.10.26 | To be honest, his modern albums are closer to his eighties output than to anything else he did (meaning his mid-career experimental stuff), but you could at least try out the singles.
I had the same bit of confusion with Ninth, made me recount his albums a couple of times just to be sure. I have a theory that he counts his Dalis Car project from 1984 as his first solo album | DoofDoof
02.10.26 | I bought a ventriloquist dummy from a shop in Redruth
I took it on home, pierced its ears and back-combed its hair
With eyeliner on, it looked like Pete Murphy a bit
He could talk fairly well though he couldn’t pronounce the letter B
I said, “That’s OK lad. It makes life much easier for me.”
He said his name was Gary
I said: “Do you mean Barry?”
He said: “Yeah”
We paraded the High Street in Falmouth and went down a storm
He’d thought up a catchphrase and he used it as we neared HMV
“Have you got any Gauhaus?”
