'Gothic Box' Shines Light On Ultra Dark Music

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I generally hate goff compilation albums with a passion, but this one might be of interest, coming from a major player in the music reissue biz (and that's Rhino).
And for once it does bring together 80s big names and not dodgy second-rate combos. 8)

Sanctury gothic compilation from universal (I think) is truely excellent. Its a goth club hits list. I can't believe its endorsed by the artists (it has the sisters on it, TOL), the best goh compilation I've ever seen.

until..

What, what? The link just loaded up. That is a good collection.

Sanctury has a few other bits and bobs including material from Rosseta Stone and NMA. But that is a cool comp.
Nationalise the f**king lot.

And one of my all time favorites Billy, I've lost count how many times I've seen them over the years, they were the forth or fifth band I ever went to see, I just don't think that's the track for a compilation like that.

Ah, we agree again.

Good luck for the new season :innocent:

Jeez did they have to take a track from every Bauhaus splinter group.
End of line.

What's wrong with bands that never got huge record deals with "let's screw-you-over" labels?

I'd not mind hearing a whole album of strange, next-to-unknown bands, rather than another CD of Bela Lugosi's Dead and She Sells Sanctuary.

That's not exactly what I had in mind. :innocent:

I don't wanna know whether Garden of delight, Sweet William, The Tors of Dartmoor, etc. (just to name a few) got screwed up by evil record companies. They just sucked, that's all. :urff: :von:

Generally speaking, I'm with Dark on this one. I'd rather hear 'new' or more obscure bands who I might not have heard before - I don't see the point in buying a compilation album where I've got all the tracks on albums I have anyway...

Not a bad track list on the one you linked to though, Badlander. :notworthy:
