5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Beautiful., June 18, 2004

This review is from: Projekt: Gothic (Audio CD)

From the ethereal band This Ascension to the catchy-eccentric-goth-like band Mira to the whimsical humour of Voltaire... the folks organizing Projekt Gothic truly know how to put together a spectacular compilation album. If you enjoy ethereal, goth (true goth bands, not the Marilyn Manson type), and eccentric bands, you will enjoy this album.
I would also recommend listening the final track, "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Unto Ashes. Their rendition of Blue Oyster Cult's hit song is amazing. They bring a dark, depressive vibe to it that radiates pure genius. However, be sure not to miss Mira's song. It is--quite possibly--one of the most popular tracks on the album (although they are a lesser-known band.) It is a stand-out and truly phenomenal.

4.0 out of 5 stars a worthy sampling, October 27, 2003

This review is from: Projekt: Gothic (Audio CD)

I always like compilation albums because they are a good way to get a varied sampling of a particular genre and also a good way to hear new artists. Often, however, only about half the tracks on compilation albums are any good. Not the case in Projekt: Gothic. I love this album and it is consistantly good from beginning to end. It starts out with the distinct sound of Audra and their song, "What Your Eyes Had Seen." Then it goes straight into "When You're Evil" by Voltaire which is simply a gloriously fun song. It of course includes a track by the ever-gothic Black Tape for a Blue Girl and also includes many artists I was not familiar with but now have become a fan of.

I recommend this cd to anyone. It is a fine sampling and even if every track does not appeal to every listener, it is still a worthy compilation. Give it a listen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Way to Find Great Bands, January 30, 2006

This review is from: Projekt: Gothic (Audio CD)

This is one of my favorite CDs, and I don't like very many compilation albums. I found my favorite band, Mira, through this CD, and so many other great bands on the Projekt label, I've listened this CD to death, so I plan to buy a new copy soon, even though I already have most of the albums. I also recommend the other Projekt compilation albums.
