Black Atmosphere - Muscle In Plastic (1996) / Bauhaus - Muscle In Plastic (1981)

Black Atmosphere's Bauhaus cover, "Muscle In Plastic," is a track from their 1995 album, Redeem. It also appears on The Passion For Covers: A Tribute to Bauhaus (1996).

Black Atmosphere was formed in 1991 in Los Angeles, CA. by Xstoph Gladis as a recording project. Black Atmosphere ventured out as a live act, combining theatrics with a psychedelic / glam-gothic appearance and musical structure. The band raised much interest within the Hollywood circuit. The hype of LA’s press pushed the band on a tour of the west coast in its first six months of existence and then in 1992, making their move to the Emerald city of Seattle where they based it as their home. Christophe Gladis: Vocals, Guitar, Keyboard, Stephen Garcia: Drums, Reverend Ryk: Bass, Keyboard.

"Muscle In Plastic" appears on the second Bauhaus LP, Mask, released in October 1981.

Wikipedia: Bauhaus is an English rock band formed in Northampton in 1978. Known for their dark image and gloomy sound, Bauhaus is one of the pioneers of gothic rock, although they mixed many genres, including dub, glam rock, psychedelia, and funk. The group consists of Daniel Ash (guitar, saxophone), Peter Murphy (vocals, occasional instruments), Kevin Haskins (drums) and David J (bass). The band formed under the name Bauhaus 1919, in reference to the first operating year of the German art school Bauhaus, but they shortened this name within a year of formation. Their 1979 debut single "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is considered one of the harbingers of gothic rock music and has been influential on contemporary goth culture.
