The Waking Hour is the sole album by English band Dalis Car, a project of Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Mick Karn of Japan. It was released in November 1984 by record label Paradox, which was created specifically to release the record (it was later reissued on Beggars Banquet).
A music video was released for the track The Judgement Is the Mirror. The beginning of the video was filmed at the Ballycorus Leadmines in Dublin, the Għajn Tuffieħa Tower in Malta, and Fort St. Elmo (also in Malta). The video stars Murphy and Karn and was directed by Geoff Lowe [1].
Trouser Press wrote: "As a mellifluous noise, The Waking Hour is fine, if a bit heavy on the bass; dig any deeper, however, and what you get is a hollow attempt to create art without any redeeming artistry."[3]
Fact magazine included it in their list "20 best goth records ever made".[4]
