Peter Murphy’s remarkable twenty-first-century solo catalogue is celebrated in Laying On New Waves: The 2000s Collection, a definitive archival collection bringing together his acclaimed studio recordings, rare remixes and extensive live material from 2001 to 2017.
Spanning atmospheric studio albums, adventurous reworkings and landmark live performances, the collection documents one of alternative music’s most distinctive and uncompromising artists across more than fifteen years of inspired work.
Laying On New Waves: The 2000s Collection is available in two deluxe formats, each housed in a premium rigid bookcase-style box and featuring an extensive hardback book packed with new writing, exclusive material and rare archival imagery.
The deluxe nine-LP edition brings together six key Peter Murphy releases from 2001–2017, including four studio albums and two live albums. The collection features Dust, Unshattered, Ninth, Lion, Alive Just For Love and Bare-Boned And Sacred, with newly remastered audio throughout.
Notably, Dust, Unshattered, Alive Just For Love and Bare-Boned And Sacred are presented on vinyl for the first time.
The nine-LP set is completed by an extensive hardback book featuring an in-depth essay by acclaimed author and broadcaster John Robb, forewords from ANOHNI and long-time collaborator Youth, an exclusive new interview with Peter Murphy, previously unpublished family photographs, rare studio and live imagery, and archival material from throughout this extraordinary period.
The deluxe nine-CD + DVD edition offers a more expansive overview of Murphy’s work across the same period, combining his four major studio albums with rare Lion remixes and three substantial live releases.
Alongside Dust, Unshattered, Ninth and Lion, the collection includes Remixes From Lion, featuring mixes by Youth and Richard Thorne, as well as Mr Moonlight Tour – 35 Years of Bauhaus, Alive Just For Love and Bare-Boned And Sacred.
The accompanying DVD presents the complete Mr Moonlight Tour – 35 Years of Bauhaus concert, capturing Murphy and his band performing landmark Bauhaus material alongside songs from his solo catalogue.
