I met Daniel randomly in Ojai, CA. He was a neighbor of a friend who was having a house party. No one at the party knew who he was but Mr. Ash invited me over to chat and listen to music for a bit. He kindly accepted the whiskey that we provided for him. All around good fellow.

Waited for my buddy's parents to go out of town so we could jam this tape on the "sonic" setting of their stacked Bose system in the living room. It normally played jazz and we weren't allowed to touch it. Brought that system to life when we jammed Love and Rockets. Good times. 30 years on now.

It blows my mind how much easier it is to find music today. Even in the early days of the internet, you'd read about music on newsgroups or listservs, but then you'd have to go to a record store and buy it to hear it yourself. Now, it's usually available on youtube/Vimeo.

I was a huge Bauhaus fan back in the day (and still am!) but apart from some of the L&R singles in the 80's (like this one, of which I bought the 12" single), I never really made the full cross-over to this band. I do like what I've heard by them, though, and fully mean to go back and catch up on what I missed out on at the time.

[@tomryannova]

Make sure to drop in on Tones on Tail

[@nickwill6599]

Beautiful....

[@jasonpaulelder]

I saw this debut on MTV's 120 minutes show at the time. It was such a great surprise how they were creating many videos rather quickly. I'd say that it certainly grew more fans as a result. Once they had a collection of their music videos on VHS (including a special guest appearance by the Bubblemen), called "The Haunted Fishtank," I received it as a Christmas gift. "Express" is such an excitingly energetic LP, overall (and, knowing it as leading with, "It Could Be Sunshine"). I just listened to it last night for the first in a long while, coincidentally. The melodic distortion and pop-like arrangements drove the album's sequence urgently like a locomotive; I suppose I should say, a "Kundalini Express." It was also at this time where I was just getting to know the discography of T. Rex, and could hear a healthy influence of Marc Bolan on Daniel Ash through the 4th to the 1st chord progressions. At commercial record stores and another privately owned shop, I bought anything I could find on them through EPs, t-shirts, pins, their first album, and then the treasure of learning about Tones on Tail. I should mention that although I knew of Bauhaus, I didn't actually start listening or collecting anything by them until about three years or more after Love and Rockets. They're certainly two bands, regardless of the common threads, and I needed time to get to know that library (and then followed Peter Murphy's career as well). Anyway, I could probably write more, but I think I've adequately shown my appreciation in this comment.

[@Spacegal-333.3]

I had the VHS too. Not sure if I still have it. I and my friends watched it so many times, especially when we weren't supposed to, i.e. during exam week 0_0 So many great videos, and low budget. Not the glossy slick nonsense of the 80's video era.
