SaintRigger Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) All killer links :) I love Susanne Vega and the Cranes. Ok - as promised, more Dark Wave, Goth, Early Industrial etc...(I've got a ton of new wave lined up, but we'll do this one first) I'll start with the Sisters of Mercy, since the first album I ever bought I ever purchased for myself was "Floodland" in 87. Sure, they are kinda cheesy, but I have a huge soft-spot form them. Just don't tell Andrew Eldritch he is a goth musician. ;) "This Corrosion" - which lead to a number of covers, probably the most interesting being done by - " " - " " - whioch has a nice fun pulp feel. Siouxsie and the Banshees was another favorite growing up - "Spellbound" is a classic " " was popular for a while " " was used as the theme song for the british comedy Absolutely Fabulousand lastly, another song that made the charts was " " The Cure has had a long career in the post-punk work - " " is one of my all time favorites.Then there is " " which going to an earlier post was also covered by Reel Big Fish - including footage from 300. Because it makes me giggle." " Fields of the Nephilim - "Moonchild" and "Sumerland" Bauhaus - not just an architectural and design movement - ;) The band was originally named Bauhaus 1919 after the movement and the 1919 which was the german release date of the movie "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari" - from which Peter Murphy adopts his look (Cesear, the sleep walker). The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari is also a "triumph of the Bauhaus movement" as well and inspired later Hollywood films. "She's in Parties", " " which was one of their more famous tracks and lastly, a brilliant cover of David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" I'd be remiss to forget The Mission UK - but I didn't find a ton of really good videos - there is " " and "Never Again" Other notables are Joy Division - with " ", but who are best know for "Love Will Tear Us Apart" Ministry - Early ministry like " " had a disco like sound that is way different from the more aggressive industrial sound of "Burning Inside". If you've seen the movie AI - that is Ministry making a cameo appearance as the band playing at the FleshFair where they tear about the old robots. On the topic of industrial would include bands like Front 242 with " " and Nitzer Ebb - "Join in the Chant" And for giggles - Killing Joke's "Eighties" (and "Love like Blood" so Jenna isn't mad ;> ) Edit: I just noticed I duplicated two that Bilesuck posted - which only goes to show how amazingly awesome Bilesuck is with his ultra-uberpowerful taste in music. ;) And that is a totally unbiased opinion. ;) Edited October 10, 2007 by SaintRigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlady Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Lacuna Coil rocks! We discovered them by accident one Saturday earlier this year - they were here in Mesa, apparently on tour, and they did a short acoustic set with only part of the band, right in our local music store. We liked the couple of songs we heard, looked them up on the Internet, found their latest album at Best Buy, and were hooked. If we'd known about them ahead of time, we would have tried to get tickets for the concert. :-( I will be checking out Chiasm - thanks for that recommendation! This is a fun thread - ah, the glory days of MTV, when they played real music videos.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRigger Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Discovering bands by accident is brilliant - that is how I found Yo La Tengo! :D In a Reverie is probably my favorite Lacuna Coil album, but they are all pretty brilliant. Frosch got me hooked on Leaves' Eyes which has a slightly similar sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 The way I found out about Lacuna coil and Chiasm was the sound track off a computer game: Vampire- the Masquerade, Blood Lines. Alot of cool songs on it. Another band if your into the whole techno sound is AERIAL2012, their song Pound is on the sound track as well. Oh, and Tiamat if you into the whole goth/ vamp scene. They had some songs on it also Heard this song on there and thought it was kinda cool so I wnet out and bought the CD- Big mistake, reminded me of some cheezy vegas night club band. Oh well, live and learn I guess She has a wierd voice, kinda grows on you though. This is another Fan made video Smaller God Back to the retro, another golden oldie SR- liked that song "headhunter" Cool sound to it Decided to throw this up as well, just one of my personal favorites. Good song for the strip clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRigger Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Tanker - I will always love White Zombie because of their love of B-movies, Sci-fi and Horror. That and they don't take themselves too seriously, but still rock. "El Phantasmo and the Chicken-Run Blast-O-Rama" is a brilliant name for a song. :) I should run a pulp game with that as the title.

Super Administrators kit Posted October 11, 2007 Super Administrators Share Posted October 11, 2007 " " was used as the theme song for the british comedy Absolutely Fabulous Point of information: the Banshees, et al, covered Marianne Faithful's song "This Wheel's on Fire" which is the one used on Ab-Fab. Not on Youtube, or I'd link it up. Fields of the Nephilim -"Moonchild" and "Sumerland" Their Earth Inferno (live) album is one of the best concert albums I've ever heard, and one of my favorite albums in my collection. I don't like their studio stuff as much, but this live album is full of raw energy. Powerful stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Administrators kit Posted October 11, 2007 Super Administrators Share Posted October 11, 2007 Here you go. Here's a video made for a decidedly modern song with a computer from 1979. Does it count? The story of the video is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on Youtube, or I'd link it up. Wasn't it originally a Dylan tune preformed by Julie Driscoll - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uiVV5oIpz4 And then the show tune was sung by Driscoll and Adrian "Vyvyan" Edmondson. Looking it up, it was preformed by Marianne Faithful for the 1996 special, and also Debbie Harry for the 2002 special. So I'm confused now - who did it originally ;) WHICH IS IT!?!? PS - Elvis Costello rules. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought it was Marianne's version on the credits. Ah well. Dang hippies. Sharing music back before it was in vogue. PS - Elvis Costello rules. ;) Indeed. He's quite incredible. Oh, these guys aren't too bad, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
