Even though I don't listen to goth as much as I used to, the first two Cleopatra Gothic Rock compilations are two of the best CDs I own, especially the first one. I've probably listened to vol. 1 more than I've listened to any of the albums by any of the bands I got into through it. The aforementioned Fields of the Nephilim, Tones on Tail, Rosetta Stone, and Bauhaus were all on there, as were the Virgin Prunes, whose album If I Die I Die is just about perfect. http://www.discogs.com/Various-Gothic-Rock-1/release/472380 http://www.discogs.com/Various-Gothic-Rock-2-80s-Into-90s/release/370595 Obligatory Virgin Prunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqUi9Koq0Hw Another band that should have gotten more attention is Big Electric Cat. Very Sisters-ish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5ptUL-KaO4 (this rip sounds ... not so good but seems to be the only one of the song) That's from their first album, Dreams of a Mad King, which I like more than their other, more universally hailed one, Eyelash. Someone said they sound like a goth version of U2 and I can sort of see that. Everyone's heard Beastmilk, right? They just incinerate everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk7TbYPycrk I'll link their album because there is no highlight track. It's goddamned amazing from start to finish.
