  • Summary: The former Bauhaus member returns with his first solo album in six years, which sees him adding traditional Middle Eastern instrumentation to the mix and moving in a more ambient direction.

  1. The tracks included in Dust are thoughtful, introspective canticles that are best enjoyed under the fog of your favorite incense and the glow of a candle or two.
  2. Dust is a stunning look into his exotic, sharp imagination and a vibrant effort for those who've watched him evolve.

    An emotive, evocative, electrifying mystery. [July 2002, p.88]
  4. It's encouraging to see Murphy, twenty-odd years into his career, moving so confidently in new directions rather than rehashing old glories.
  5. Q Magazine

    It's perverse, contrary and, on stand-out tracks No Home Without Its Sire and Just For Love, surprisingly engaging. [Aug 2002, p.120]
