Well, Andrew Collins was one, even though he pretends not to admit it, and two decades ago there were groups dressed like him loitering in graveyards drinking snakebite in every town. And if you were (or are) among them you'll heartily enjoy this romp back to the days when every alt-rock gig contained a section of bobbing, backcombed barnets. It's easy to poke fun at goth's camp theatrics, and its pasty, po-faced androgyny is not for everyone, but the scene did produce some fine music in its heyday. Contributors, including Peter Hook of Joy Division and Siouxsie "we weren't goths, honest" Sioux, provide the inside story, and tracks by The m*****n, Bauhaus et al add to the atmosphere. Ah, I can almost smell the patchouli.
