Dust was Peter Murphy's sixth studio album, released in 2002. Murphy collaborated with the Turkish artist Mercan Dede on the album Dust. Heavily steeped in traditional Turkish instrumentation and songwriting, coupled with Dede's trademark atmospheric electronics, the album showed Murphy all but abandoning his previous pop and rock incarnations. Dust, released on goth/industrial stalwart label Metropolis Records, alienated many fans who had expected a more uptempo Murphy album (especially post-Recall), but it garnered some critical praise. Peter Murphy considers it his most unique work to date and is most proud of the song "Your Face" from the album. The album also includes new versions of past songs, "Subway" from Cascade and "My Last Two Weeks" from Love Hysteria.

Reception

• "From the beginning of 'Things to Remember', it is clear that ex-Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy has done more than just move to Turkey. On the evidence of this new album, he now lives and breathes the place." (Michael Hubbard, musicOMH) ^[1]
• "Dust is a stunning look into his exotic, sharp imagination and a vibrant effort for those who've watched him evolve." (MacKenzie Wilson, Allmusic) ^[2]
