Deep (Peter Murphy)

Peter Murphy's Deep contains the biggest mainstream hit he had, "Cuts You Up." This song, and as I found out, the album as a whole, were proof that gothic rock's father was still at the top of his game at this time. The album is largely accessible and includes some great tunes in the form of "Shy," "Seven Veils," "The Line Between the Devils Teeth (And That Which Cannot Be Repeat," and "Cuts You Up." Overall, it's a success.

Tracks:
1. Deep Ocean Vast Sea
2. Shy
3. Crystal Wrists
4. Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem
5. Seven Veils
6. The Line Between the Devils Teeth (And That Which Cannot Be Repeat
7. Cuts You Up
8. A Strange Kind of Love
9. Roll Call
10. Roll Call (reprise)
