Format:Audio CD
I borrowed this cd set from a friend in 2005, to hunt down who wrote 'shaving my neck' as I heard it at a party about 10 years ago & loved it to bits.
I finally gave him back the last 2 CDs a couple of months ago, after I foolishly let slip I still had them.
Pants.
Really, really missing them.
These are powerful, wistful, passionate songs, so evocative of the goth scene I experienced mid to end nineties.
Fave disc - 4 without a doubt
Fave songs - just about all of them! (haven't you read the line up??!)
So, what you waiting for? you can order one now and still get out to that Friday all-nighter (goth night, LR, whatever else tickles your fancy)
Oh and can you get one for me at the same time?

Very dubious about this, when I ordered it. I expected a box full of compilation albums. which it is but. a couple of the CD's feature tracks that very high in the Indie charts recomendation itself. one cd is from the 80's another focusses on the 90's. Only 1 cd I consider a compilation from anywhere. I bought this to discover new bands having a bit of a goth revival and theres really some great stuff in here, Theatre of Hate and Danielle DAx are two bands I shall be seeking out more of. Bauhaus too, come close to buying one of their albums many times, based on their contributions to this compilation I think I might.
Recommended if you want to get out more in the world of Goth.

A nice, thick little compilation, made to compliment Mick Mercer's book All You Need to Know About Gothic Rock which makes a nice companion piece. It dips its toes into every area of what is known as the goth scene (A few notable exceptions include the Banshees and the Cure, but hey.) from Alien Sex Fiend to Christian Death and some of the then more contemporary goth artists, like London after Midnight and dear Inkubus Sukkubus. A excellent set for anyone from the nervous newbie to the seasoned elder-goth looking for another compilation in a shiny new box.
