4.0 out of 5 stars Good Compilation, July 5, 2000

By 

A Customer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Darkwave: Music of the Shadows 2 (Audio CD)

This comp was put together by Sam Rosenthal of Prokekt, so Projekt bands feature rather heavily (in addition to Love Spirals Downwards, Black Tape, Controlled Bleeding, Lycia and Steve Roach, the bands Rhea's Obession, Faith and the Muse, Stoa, and The Crüxshadows have all made their way onto Projekt samplers in the past).

That being said, though, it's a good compliation, and comes off very strong. I personally would have liked some more etherial tracks to some of the more percussion-laden songs chosen for the disc, but that's just personal preference.

The CD would probably make a good introduction to the genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Again Scary to think that KTEL is doing this, March 19, 2000

I mean honestly, has the goth movement become so well mainstream that K-Tel has decided to do us? But aside from the K-Tel label, again, they have come out strong with this CD. Not quite the basic Gothic Music you find on other compilations. Lot's o' Projekt bands and such, but a very nice melodic view of the Gothic Genre from the electronica/medevil view. Nice mix again!
