"In the Flat Field" shares its name with the debut album Bauhaus made for 4AD in 1980, the first full-length record that label ever released. Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins share the writing credit, and the band produced and arranged it themselves, with Tony Cook engineering.
They cut the album from December 1979 to July 1980, with Siouxsie and the Banshees and David Bowie in their ears and three singles already behind them: "Bela Lugosi's Dead", "Dark Entries" and "Terror Couple Kill Colonel". Critics were split down the middle at first, but the record has since been reclaimed as one of the first gothic rock albums and one of the most influential.
