Erm... No need. Of course CD's first effort was very seminal and all, but it's a very bad album nonetheless. The lyrics are just ridiculously childish. They did make some decent records (Catastrophe ballet, Atrocities...), but some others are just embarassingly bad.James Blast wrote:I've never (knowingly) heard Christian Death and have never felt the need to.
a bit like Flesh for Lulu, innit?

Well, it is a 16 year old going for pure shock value, isn't it? "Let's upset my parents! With discipline! Let's mess up my bedroom! Because I can!" More teen angst as the good Barman would say.Badlander wrote:Erm... No need. Of course CD's first effort was very seminal and all, but it's a very bad album nonetheless.

I think it also owes a great deal to that whatsizname guy who later formed Mephisto Walz. In my angry years I also liked the "Sex and Drugs and Jesus Christ" album. But then again, most dark people did.mh wrote:Likewise Atrocities (good to see someone else recognising the one truly decent Valor-era LP!) and some bits of Ashes.

A bit of a goth hit when it came out. Waaaaaaaaay over the top if you ask me.Dark wrote:I've only heard This Is Heresy.

All the albums after this one got only worse and worse anyway.
So to put it simply : Catastrophe ballet (preferably the naked Gitane Demone cover ), Ashes, Atrocities. Did I miss any ?mh wrote: If you can get to hear any of these songs, I totally recommend them:
Awake At The Wall
Sleepwalk
The Drowning
The Blue Hour
As Evening Falls
Androgynous Noise Hand Permeates
Electra Descending
C*rv*x Couch
This Glass House
The Fleeing Somnambulist
Nope, I think that's about it. Definitely the important ones to get.Badlander wrote:So to put it simply : Catastrophe ballet (preferably the naked Gitane Demone cover ), Ashes, Atrocities. Did I miss any ?
Me too.Badlander wrote:I'm weak and I kinda like the Iron mask and Iconologia.
Haven't actually heard them.Badlander wrote:Shadow project has its moments too. Don't forget I'm French and I don't pay much attention to the lyrics.
You should try The Mission then EricBadlander wrote: Don't forget I'm French and I don't pay much attention to the lyrics.
I kinda like that DVD too...mh wrote:There's a DVD of the Iconologia concert available too...
