Released in 1998 for Bauhaus' Resurrection Tour, Crackle expands upon the gothic-rock hits of Bauhaus (1979–1983), Vol. 1, adding in remastered and remixed versions of batcave classics like "Bela Lugosi's Dead" and "Dark Entries." Other highlights include the single version of club favourite "Kick In the Eye"—where an infectious funk bassline meets post-punk rhythms and haunted-house atmospherics to thrilling effect—a heartfelt, hard-rocking cover of David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust," and the fan-club-only single "The Sanity Assassin."
