While "Deep" remains (arguably) the highlight of Peter Murphy's solo career, "Cascade" bears comparison with his best work. Released in 1995, it was Murphy's fifth solo release after leaving the 80's goth/post-punk band Bauhaus, and it would be his last album of new material until 2002's "Dust." While it isn't strikingly different from his first four solo efforts ("Should the World Fail to Fall Apart," "Blind Hysteria," "Deep," and "Holy Smoke"), it does reveal a unique depth and maturity if given a chance. Like his poetically symbolic and elusive lyrics, Murphy's music requires repeated exposure before it opens up fully for the listener. On "Cascade," that sound is heavier than usual and grounded by a bassier chug, and there are more of the gothic overtones of his early days. Give a listen to the majestic "Gliding Like A Whale," "The Scarlet Thing In You" (probably the album's most accessible track), the darkly haunting "Subway," or what is for me the highlight of the album, "Wild Birds Flock to Me." It's not surprising that Murphy tapped this song for the title of his 2000 singles collection, as the track waves and crests with all the magic implied by the title.
