"I just got this album yesterday and only have made through about the first disk and some of the second disk but from what I have heard, this is a great compilation. So far my favirotes on this cd is Inkubus Sukkubus, I really love the girls voice on this song. I also liked Razed in Blacks song, Switchblade Symphony and the Mission U.k. song. With this cd you get a lot of songs, 36, for a really great price! So pick this one if you are a goth fan or if you are new and what to check out what the music is like!"
Great Mix

"This CD has something from almost every little pocket of the gothic genre.
Everyone I've played it for loves it. (my friend stole it for a week, 2 days after it arrived!)
I listen to it all the time.
I even take it to my office and plunk it into my computer, so I can listen to it at work!
This is one of the best compilations I own."
What are you reviewing?!?

"I have no idea what techno CD these people are reviewing, but it is definately not this one. Almost every song on this compilation is standard fare on most other compilations. If you listen to Nazarene, Walking on your Hands, Pagan Love Song, Ignore the Machine, Snake Dance, Thalia, Witches, or Spiritual Cramp and you think they are techno, then you've got something wrong with your head. There are several songs with a 'techno' flavour, absolutely, but they are still quite goth. What makes the genre so great is that it's not brutally standardized, like many others are. There is great diversity in goth music, and this covers most of that diversity, though not quite all, unfortunately."
Not sure if this is goth...

"...But it's still great! Shlurrrrp... Alien sex fiend's remix of 'ignore the machine is just priceless! dunno if everybody would agree since this is one of the weirdest sounding tracks i've ever heard. anyway the first cd is the best of the three and deserves the price by its own right. the two other cd's are mostly filler with a few worthy tracks here and there.
i wish the package could contain some info about the lesser known bands. this is a compilation one gets to fill some given 'gaps' and it has some really good moments on it.
this album is better labeled 'industrial music' and not 'goth', even if it has Christian Death on it.... if you want goth, try Xmal deutchland, diamanda galas, the merry thoughts or try the "unquiet grave" compilations."
This IS Goth!

"Cradle of Filth!!! Cradle is about as Goth as my grandmother. This cd IS goth in a nice layed out way, too. It has all the requirements I would have for a goth CD, except maybe they could've sneaked in a few more of the older bands like Bauhaus, SoM, or Banshee."
