 the real bauhaus September 10, 2000

Those who can appreciate a harsher edge to their music can appreciate 'Swing the Heartache'. These sessions were recorded live (with minimal overdubs) for broadcast on BBC radio. Being a person who always enjoys a band more live than in the produced perfection of the studio (and always seeming to prefer the b-sides to singles), 'Swing' is by far my favorite Bauhaus CD. If you're not someone who appreciates the energy--and the lesser degree of polish--of live music and you want a Bauhaus sampler, try 'Crackle'; if, on the other hand, you want to know what these boys sound like live, this is a good choice.

This is a wonderful album that was played and recorded live in england (bauhaus' homebase). I would recommend it to anyone interested in modern/post-modern/post-punk/expressionistic/dark wave/new wave/ect. rock. I was genuinely tired of some of the versions of some of the versions of the songs on the other bauhaus albums like mask, burning from the inside, and the sky's gone out, so I went searching for live albums from this band in hopes of perhaps finding some fresher versions of these songs or maybe even some new material. I had already purchased an listened to bauhaus' press eject and give me the tape, loved it too much, and played it over and over again until I reached the point where I could not stand to listen again. And then I found this album. This album comes complete with some very haunting new versions of
A God in an Alcove, Double Dare, In Fear of Fear, and In the Flat Field, which I continue to enjoy undoubtedly. All of these songs come complete with rare chorus coming from the other band members . It also has some rare material at the end, which, if you can call them songs, are very interesting to say the least. I would go ahead with this one, you will not be disappointed. And for those of you who were wondering, yes, alot of bauhaus' songs are repeated in different recordings. But no, they are not all the same. They all seem to vary in terms of the atmosphere expediated from the band members' instruments and Peter Murphy's hollowing vocals.
 Bauhaus "BBC Session" Fun April 5, 2005

While "Swing the Heartache" isn't exactly an essential Bauhaus album, it's a nice addition to your catalog if you're a fan. Consisting mostly of Bauhaus album tracks (before they actually made any albums) arranged differently than the versions found on the studio LP's, and a few B-sides/Rarities, "Swing the Heartache proves to be an interesting look into the imagination of Bauhaus' songwriting ability. While, yes, some songs on here ended up sounding identical on official releases, most of the (p)re-workings of Bauhaus classics can prove to be almost superior to those found on the records they found a home on down the road. Also showcasing some of Bauhaus' stranger moments, such as "Departure" and "Party of the First Part", this release is worth checking out if you're a fan.

I was very dissapointed with this release. It was one of the first bauhaus cd's I bought, and thought it was really cool. I then realized most of these songs are on other albums, and the versions on those albums are much better. This is the one bauhaus CD I wouldn't recommend.

It's a must have - not just for Bauhaus\goth\punk\blah blah blah fans, but for anyone who is open to exploring & understanding contemporary music. It's a great collection of Bauhaus material, and the sound is so cool. I'm a huge fan of the BBC\John Peel sessions because the performaces are 'live' and the sound is raw. Thses recording let you hear what bands that are famous for their 'eletronic' sound actually sound like with minimal studio magic!
