Free Music Notes for Life Less Lived: The Gothic Box (W/Dvd)

Free Music Review: A Night of Dark Wave
Hit: 5 Stars

Though this box set is called "Goth," it's no visit to the Batcave! It is however a nice compilation of the darker side of the 80's. From the more well known and popular artists like Joy Division, Siouxsie, Eho & the Bunnymen and Gene Loves Jezabel to the lesser well known acts like 45 Grave, Southern Death Cult (later became the Cult) and the Fields of Nephilim, this box set is more of a pop comp of great acts that can be classified as Goth but not solely such.

Make no mistake, the box set comes with a wonderful booklet about Goth culture and even in it's "Porducer's Notes", Liz Goodman tells you The Gothic Box is not meant to be any kind of quintessential but merely a general introduction.

You wont find rare b-sides or forgotten tracks from these "Goth" artists, but what you will find are the more popular faire--and that's OK! This Goth Box is really"Goth" for the non-Goth.

What is unique about this compilation is the included DVD. It contains live and produced music videos from Bauhaus, The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, the JAMC, Ministry, The Cult, Siouxsie, the Fields of Nephilim, the Mission UK, Nick Cave and even Love & Rockets. It's this DVD that makes this compilation worth the investment.

For people into this genre of music (however you classify it), most of us have to rely on highly compressed youtube videos or having to purchase several compilation DVDS to get all these artists. For the first time in a long time, you can listen and watch several of these lost bands all on one DVD.

And, when you're not watching the DVD and just listening to the music on the 3 CDs, why not open up the "Goth 101" handbook and read what authors Mick Mercer, Dave Thompson, Jason Pettigrew, Sue Lott, Phil Durr, Kia MacTane, Antigone and Scary Lady Sarah have to say about Goth culture. From Goth Matters and the Bands, to the Goth Tag and notes to "Goth" Clubs, it's a great insight into what was once counterculture...which has become pop culture. Hot Topic--need I say more?

To top it all off, the box set is bound in Vinyl which is a little gimmick-ish but what the heck, it makes for great conversation when the uninitiated come to visit.

For this author, it was a great addition to my darkwave compilation collection and yes, there are one or two gems to be found within...so what the heck, it's only money!
