“‘The Artroom Wonder’ is an echo from my fourth year at senior school. Daniel Ash and I are listening to the mysterious sixth-year cool intelligentsia that have gathered in the artroom. We have dared to enter their conclave, and the music coming from it was intriguing. We discover that the song being played is ‘The Bewlay Brothers’, highly intelligent, mystical and sensual, with the singer’s voice as seductive as anyone I’d ever heard."
-Peter Murphy
The song has a nice drive, a great bass guitar sound and Peter's voice is as great as always. The sound is a bit bombastic. The global sound is filling the whole room and that's great! Looking forward to hear the new album!
