Mistress McCutchan
Delirium The Best of Delirium
Track Listing: Flowers Become Screens, Silence, Paris, Truly (Wise Buddah Radio Edit), Terra Firma, Incantation, After All,Underwater (Above & Beyonds 21st Century Remix), Run For It, Remembrance, You & I, Innocent, Euphoria (Firefly), Silence (Above & Beyonds 21st Century Remix).
Everything we know and love from one of the forerunners of this genre: swirly, girly and dancey ethereal. If you dont own any Delirium cds, I think this is a great album to get a feel of their overall discography. Two new tracks, Paris and You and I, as well as a special remix of Silence have been added.
Amber Spyglass Accelerating Parcae
Track Listing: Pearls of Blue, Red Dust, Hand in Position, Little Things, Silent Ravine, Catalyst Groove, Im Afraid of Americans, Her Dark Swan, Divide, Venus in the 8th House, In White.
I quite enjoyed their 5 song e.p., but the first full-length album from this outfit is disappointing. While the music fits beautifully
into the genre of ethereal, a la Claire Voyant and early Love Spirals Downwards, Kelly Godshalls vocals fall flat and off-key frequently.
Not even the Bowie cover, Im Afraid of Americans, redeems this album.
Moonlight Cathedral
Track Listing: Fearful Symmetry - Lead Us, Wyrmwood the Legacy - Voices, The Awakening - Martyr, The Last Dance - Whisper, Dead Artist Syndrome - Christian America, Visionaire - Fragmented, Undish - Letter No. 4 from Letters from the Earth, Paradoxx - Vampyr, Bridgeshadows - Computer Dreams, Creta - Silence, Veer Chasm - You Pt. 2: The Chameleons Rise, Tara Vanflower - This Womb Like Liquid Honey, Grode - Nedtegnet Fra Ensom Virkelighet, Saviour Machine - The End.
The debut release from Cold Fusion Music is a good variety of both industrial and classic gothic. Moonlight Cathedral is distributed by Christian electronic underground supporters, Flaming Fish Music. Christian underground or not (because I know the God thing can instantly close ears), this is not a bunch of Bible-thumping, but a solid album for your collection, especially if youre feeling nostalgic about good old-fashioned gothic rock.
Björk Medúlla
Track Listing: Pleasure Is All Mine, Show Me Forgiveness, Where Is The Line?, Vökuró, Oll Birtan, Who Is It, Oceania, Submarine, Sonnets/Unrealities XI
Desired Constellation, Ancestors, Mouths Cradle, Mivikudags, Triumph Of A Heart.
You really have to like Bjorks unique voice to appreciate this
album. This album, albeit instrumentally sparse is richly layered in vocals, both processed and natural. Even as a fan, this takes a
couple listenings to grow on you, although Where is the Line and Oceania instantly stood out as favorites for me.
Resurrection 2
Track Listing: The Metro - HMB, Aperture (Slither Mix) - cut.rate.box, Night Riders (part III bOOl3 mix) - Stromkern, Secrets and Dreams - La Floa Maldita, Makina Mata - State of the Union, You Complicate Things (look the other way) - Trigger10d, Vorbei (FAP7 Remix) - Beborn Beton, Divina - Deceptio Mentis, Pecking Order - Monstrum Sepsis, Alysium (PTII Mix) - PTI, Blink - Regenerator.
The next in the series of compilations from this Chicago-based label. I loved this on the first listen Resurrection 2 is a really tight
industrial dance compilation (read that track listing again!).
