Cascade

"Cascade" is the fifth studio album by British gothic rock musician Peter Murphy. Released in 1995, it marked a departure from Murphy's previous records, showing his shift towards a more complex and textured solo artist. The album is characterized with his deep, resonant voice and involved song structures with a diverse set of instrumentation.

The album includes Murphy's biggest-selling single, "The Scarlet Thing In You", which represents his classic style, filled with his iconic Baritone singing integrated with backgrounds of electronica and intricate guitar works. The album also includes "Wild Birds Flock to Me" and the title track "Cascade", both are considered some of his most poignant works.

Produced by Pascal Gabriel, who's known for his works with artists like Dido and Kylie Minogue, the album incorporates a more standard rock-oriented sound mixed with elements of progressive rock and Middle Eastern influences – a nod to Murphy's interest in Turkish music and culture.

Overall, Cascade represents a key turning point in Murphy's career, demonstrating his evolution as an artist and highlighting his distinctive creative vision. It was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics, who praised Murphy's vocals and the eclectic range of musical styles presented on the album.
