Gothic CD Reviews
Subsonic Symphonee - Oscillator
- CDEP ( 2003 )
Review coming soon! 9/21/03 |
Circle Clan-Follow
the White Line CD (2003)
Heavy Sci-Fi Industrial
with REALLY LOUD Slayer sounding guitars! This sounds
like music that would be used in a car chase from The
Matrix (movie). They remind me of Cyberaktif (WaxTrax).
The best track on this is Dopehaus (Track #4).
This also contains 2 extra tracks: a remix of Track #2
(Follow the White Line), and a 'remix' of Track #6 (Girl).
There is a slow ambient track called Leaf, which was really
good, but was only 2 min long. The original Girl mix (track
#6) is actually a mellow 'made for radio' kind of track.

 Subsonic
Symphonee - Images - CDEP (2003)
First impression: An aggressive industrial WaxTrax
sound - similar to KMFDM, Front 242, and
Front Line Assembly. This CDEP contains 7 version
of 'Images' - the original from the forthcoming 'eXtreme
eVolution' CD and a 3 1/2 minute radio cut, plus 4
remix versions by Robert Cross, DJ Acid Reign, DJ TonyC,
and DJ Killavirus. Each remix runs and average time of
6 minutes, with the Robert Cross mix being the best. This
CDEP also contains the video of 'Images'. The band looks
like they came out of the Charlton Heston movie The
Omega Man - the 'they only come out at night' people
- and we all know that the best people only come out at
night.

 Lilac
Ambush -Fragile - CDEP
WOW! Their 3rd release, and I must say I am completely
amazed! This could be one of the best undiscovered gothic
bands of 2002. This release contains four tracks of dark
Depeche Mode style greatness. They seems to have developed
into a strong/full sound that MUST be heard! You can download
their tracks HERE.
Get the track called 'Dead Wood' - You'll be listening
to that song for a long long time. (reviewed by SPIDEY)

 Zeitgeist
- Spirit of the Times - CDEP
This is a promotional CD featuring assorted tracks from
their regular releases. They sound like a very mean gothic
rock band - mean in a nice way. They do a cover of a Christian
Death song on this CDEP. This is the kind of goth you
want to play really loud - and there aren't too many band
like that. (reviewed by SPIDEY)

Devour Ensemble - The
Moon's Bright 3rd - CDEP
Poetic avant-garde somewhat gothic music. Complex song
arrangements make for a more essentric rock feel. To find
our more on this band visit www.DevourEnsemble.com

Lilac Ambush - Breathe Deep - CDEP
An improved sound compared to the Earthbound
CDEP. Better production and better songs, making this
a move in a positive direction. Maintains the 80's Pop
Gothic sound as on their Earthbound CDEP. Think
Depeche Mode, early Xymox and Gary Numan. (reviewed

Lilac Ambush - Earthbound - CDEP
Has an early Xymox type sound. Sort of a Pop Gothic
sound, each song with a strong melody. (reviewed by

Trance to the Sun-Bloom Flower
Bloom-CD - Just like all their other CDs. Highly Recommended.
Rating:
Ninth Circle-Ninth Circle-CD 1996
- Like a dark Depeche Mode. 80's sounding with male/female
vocals. Sound
samples.
Rating:
TCH-Sinflower-CD-1997 - Industrial, experimental,
and ambient beats. A few long songs, a few short. You'll
probably only end up liking a few of the songs. Some are
okay ambient stuff like Dogon(one of the all time great
bands). Sound Sample
Rating:
Trance to the Sun-Ghost Forest-CD - Their first? -
Quite good, slightly older and medieval sounding - Still
really really good, and hard to find.
Rating:
Tara Vanflower-This Womb Like Liquid Honey-CD - Ex-Lycia.
Sounds Hardly like Lycia, a few songs are 'okay', the
rest are not. If you can get this for under $4 it is worth
it for the 3 or 4 decent tracks which try to sound like
Lycia.
