Free Music Notes for Life Less Lived: The Gothic Box
Free Music Review: Carpe Noctem
Hit: 5 Stars
This box set contains a very unique collection from a variety of goth bands from the 1980s. It ranges from Joy Division, to Sisters of Mercy, and even Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Even though most of the songs are easy to find, this collection is unlike the others that are in this genre. Whereas others I found have the greatest hits of goth, this collection contains some unique items, particularly a different version of "Wasteland" by The Mission (U.K.). The collection reminds me of the "Dark Wave" broadcast on Sirius Satellite Radio. The enclosed books has great reflections by the bands themselves, goth music D.J.s, and some other fun stuff ("How to Dance Goth Style" and "How to be a Goth D.J."). I recommend this set to anyone who enjoys goth music or just want to relive their own goth years (or just continue on!).
Life Less Lived: The Gothic Box Poster
Five hours of mood-lowering music & video from the foremost names in gloom.Yes, I was one of those kids: big, messy hair; black clothes; makeup on the weekends; surly demeanor with everyone but my friends. But my friends were legion. And what bonded us all? Goth music--dark, arty, dramatic, epic, apocalyptic. It gave us focus and refuge during those formative years. Now, it appears some of those kids have grown up and started working for Rhino. A Life Less Lived: The Gothic Box hones in on the territory started by their expansive Left of the Dial box set and gives it a smear of red lipstick and a down-turned glance. And in usual Rhino fashion, it's lovingly designed (the slipcase is a faux-leather corset!), with an extensive booklet that will answer all of your questions about goth, and this box set in particular. It will be needed. One can already hear the cries of "What about...?," "Why that song?," and "Is that goth?" These questions are addressed and gotten out of the way in quick succession. Rhino has the cachet to pull together artists that wouldn't normally be part of such a box set, so they rightly concentrate on including the biggies (the Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy). Also present less well-known bands, such as Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, the March Violets, and the Virgin Prunes. What about the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Misfits, and Echo & the Bunnymen? Are they goth? Not strictly, but every goth I knew loved them. There's even an "instructional" essay for those new to the scene, and a cover of the Cure's "The Hanging Garden" by new-schoolers A.F.I. to bring in the uninitiated. Go on, break out those velvet vests and pointy boots and put this on--it's still amazingly vibrant stuff. --Robert Arambel
