Dead Can Dance is one of my favorite groups, I was just listening to a bunch of their stuff today. For me, I tend to lump a lot of things that aren't necessarily "goth" in with it mainly because of what they'd play at the various spooky clubs I used to hang out at. So, goth, industrial, some synthpop and that sort of thing. It's funny, even though I don't really go there any more (and haven't regularly for around 4 years)this playlist from a few weeks ago has a whole ton of music on it that I easily recognize from when I did. Also, wow I totally forgot about This Mortal Coil and just now learned that they somehow didn't survive my transition to digital music however long ago that was. Time to rectify that!

nomapple posted:I need some help getting into Dead Can Dance. Tried the most recent album, gave it several listens, didn't really get anywhere with it in the end other than the first couple of tracks Gotta basically agree with m-o-o-n (I had actually forgotten they'd even put anything out semi-recently), I like pretty much everything up through Into the Labyrinth, but that's about it; you might look at picking up one of the compilations too, especially A Passage in Time. edit: or Spotify, i always forget that that's a good source to listen to albums/songs without just blindly downloading stuff.

A load of my friends love them, so maybe I just need to start elsewhere?

You know who's awesome? The Cranes, so I'm going to post a couple of my favorites by them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CH12Rxvz40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mvso2fEMh94 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrJLw8Rtlws

MTV's Half-hour Comedy Hour had one of my favorite things related to the Cure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpqe9Qp0tOI Speaking of The Cure, they were definitely the first "gothic" music I ever heard, way back in high school and were one of the bands that kept me sane in my tiny, tiny Eastern Montana town. (along with Bad Religion, Ministry, Jane's Addiction and many other things that I decided were definitely not of that place) I loved everything of theirs up to and including Disintegration until roughly 2002 when, suddenly, I no longer could stand them. Couldn't deal with the music, Smith's voice, the melodies nothing. I'd try to sprinkle a few songs I used to love into random playlists to see if I could recapture my affection for them, but nothing. I just about went as far as deleting all their poo poo from my collection. Then, seemingly just as randomly around 2012 that all suddenly reversed and now they're back among my favorites, even if I don't listen to them nearly as much as when I was a gloomy teen. That's the only band I've liked where something similar has happened. Only up to and including Disintegration though, everything after that can still go to hell.

Is it wrong that I would wear this shirt? Because I would totally wear that shirt.

ExplodingChef posted:"From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea" would like a loving word with you, sir (or ma'am). Hmmm. That's actually pretty good, guess it's time to reevaluate my stance on post-Disintegration stuff a bit.

And if for some reason you haven't, definitely check out This Mortal Coil themselves.

As i was sitting around listening to a playlist that's just all my Cranes and Joy Division stuck together and hitting "shuffle" i saw this video on a friend's page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1xd7dxBqOw It's good, i think.
