[.ca] This Is Goth

theres a difference between goth and gothicand darkwave, etc:
this is goth, not gothic. goth is derived from punk, gothic is an evolution of the new romantics. goth is noisy and harsh, gothic is ethereal and slow. its like comparing jimi hendrix to jenny g or marilyn manson to blacktapeforabluegirl. theyre different genres.

Not What Metal Heads Think Is Goth...:
Not what metal heads think is goth (cradle of filth, type o negative, ministry, etc.) if you think those bands are goth your not looking at the right stuff. this here is more of an addition for anyone who owns the uber awsome 'goth box' set. classic goth bands with some of the newer stuff mixed in. kind of bridges the gap between the old goth (christian death, the lorries, corpus delicti) with the new brand of goth (razed in black, alien sex fiend) and everything inbetween (mission uk, inkubus sukkubus, children on stun, march violets). ...

Diverse...:
This is a really good look at Gothic music, but I dont know if Id recommend this to a beginner... If you already like the music, then this would be good to get, as it will open you up to a lot of goth bands. A lot of the bands on here are the more underground bands...Theres no sisters of mercy or Bauhaus...Thats why beginners might not like this...But it is pretty good...Like i said, if you like the music..The song selection isnt too bad but some of it is pretty aweful...I mean the bands listed on this have a lot of much better songs...but eh, its worth it, its an important album to bye for anyone looking to listen to gothic music. This was the second compilation I ever bought...at first i didnt like it but after A while i got a taste for it...

not sure if this is goth...:
...But it's still great! Shlurrrrp... Alien sex fiend's remix of 'ignore the machine is just priceless! dunno if everybody would agree since this is one of the weirdest sounding tracks i've ever heard. anyway the first cd is the best of the three and deserves the price by its own right. the two other cd's are mostly filler with a few worthy tracks here and there. i wish the package could contain some info about the lesser known bands. this is a compilation one gets to fill some given 'gaps' and it has some really good moments on it. this album is better labeled 'industrial music' and not 'goth', even if it has Christian Death on it.... if you want goth, try Xmal deutchland, diamanda galas, the merry thoughts or try the "unquiet grave" compilations.

This is BAD Goth:
Well, it looks like Cleopatra didn't do it with this one. 3 CDs for a very good price with mostly CRAP musci. You will find out of the millions of songs on this CD, about 3 stunning ones (Witches, Alice and Fire Dance), a few more good ones and the rest will bore you. They did a much better job with 'Gothic Divas'.
