"Dust" is the seventh solo studio album from English musician Peter Murphy, best known as the vocalist of the influential rock band Bauhaus. The album was released on 23 April 2002 and is typically classified as alternative or gothic rock.
"Dust" sees Murphy exploring Middle Eastern music influences, with assistance from Turkish musician and composer Mercan Dede. These influences seamlessly blend with Western electronic music, providing a unique soundscape for Murphy's evocative lyrics and emotive vocal performance.
The album consists of ten tracks, and features standout songs such as "Your Face," "No Home Without You," and the epic ten-minute long "Things to Remember." The lush, deeply atmospheric production of "Dust," coupled with its blend of styles, was met with mostly positive reception.
Despite the large gap between "Dust" and its predecessor, "Cascade," the album continued Murphy's consistent artistic exploration and growth and is a testament to his constantly evolving musical approach and his willingness to continually redefine his sound.
