Lift (Love and Rockets album)

Background

Lift overlooked the harder rock of Sweet F.A. in favor of Hot Trip to Heaven's electronic sound. The album produced three singles: the club-oriented "Resurrection Hex", which features samples of Bauhaus' "Stigmata Martyr" and "In the Night"; the pop-oriented "Holy Fool", featuring background vocals by Luscious Jackson's Jill Cunniff; and the promo-only, acronym-laden electronica trip "R.I.P. 20 C."

The sound and title of "Resurrection Hex" instantly fed rumors of a much-anticipated Bauhaus reunion, which was officially announced almost immediately upon release of the record. The simultaneous bankruptcy of the Red Ant Records label — on which Peter Murphy was also an artist — and the subsequent success of the 1998–99 Bauhaus Resurrection tour led to the ultimate demise of Love and Rockets as a project.
