Synopsis

Product Description

This CD collection features the highly acclaimed and pioneering Goth band, 1919. The band formed in December 1980 in Bradford and set about recording heavy, melodic, intense dance music with no frills and pretentions. The band was an early contributor to what became the Goth genre. This collection features all the tracks that were recorded by 1919, including their singles Caged , Repulsion and Cry Wolf . The CD also has all the tracks from the band's ultra rare album 'Machine' from 1984. These tracks are all appearing for the first time on CD. The CD booklet includes all the band's original sleeves, sleeve notes and a complete discography of the band's releases to give a comprehensive view of the band's history. A long awaited re-press for this classic compilation.

CD Reviews

Surprisingly good

Jonathan Dedward | Nowheresville, Slothwestern North America | 01/23/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought 1919 on a whim. Having heard only a brief snippet of the song "Alien" on I was intrigued but unsure what to expect from the album. Well, after hearing for the first time I was pleasantly surprised and the more I listen the more I enjoy it. The music is almost immediately catchy, slightly heavy/yet very danceable and interesting early Gothic post/punk. 1919 displays a pretty clear Killing Joke influence but in my opinion takes the inspiration without sounding derivative. The only weak point I might mention is that the lead vocals aren't particularly striking when compared with more the iconic gothrock howlers like Nick Cave, Ian Ashbury or Peter Murphy, but they are far from poor.

The rhythm section is especially tight and capable of pulling off a variety of styles. Songs like "Caged" and "Alien" are high energy rockers while the "Slave" and my personal favorite track "Dream" are very infectious and dancey. Since these guys started recording in 1980, I don't doubt they had some influence in the burgeoning "Goth" scene, but I find it surprising how completely they disappeared until Anagram released this compilation. Good album by a forgotten band."

Dark and Depressing

"This album is awesome--great lyrics, beat, and sound! It's one of my favorite discs. If you are a huge fan of deathrock or dark punk--you have to own this--you won't be disappointed!"
