"I always like compilation albums because they are a good way to get a varied sampling of a particular genre and also a good way to hear new artists. Often, however, only about half the tracks on compilation albums are any good. Not the case in Projekt: Gothic. I love this album and it is consistantly good from beginning to end. It starts out with the distinct sound of Audra and their song, "What Your Eyes Had Seen." Then it goes straight into "When You're Evil" by Voltaire which is simply a gloriously fun song. It of course includes a track by the ever-gothic Black Tape for a Blue Girl and also includes many artists I was not familiar with but now have become a fan of.I recommend this cd to anyone. It is a fine sampling and even if every track does not appeal to every listener, it is still a worthy compilation. Give it a listen!"

Simply Beautiful.

"From the ethereal band This Ascension to the catchy-eccentric-goth-like band Mira to the whimsical humour of Voltaire... the folks organizing Projekt Gothic truly know how to put together a spectacular compilation album. If you enjoy ethereal, goth (true goth bands, not the Marilyn Manson type), and eccentric bands, you will enjoy this album.
I would also recommend listening the final track, "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Unto Ashes. Their rendition of Blue Oyster Cult's hit song is amazing. They bring a dark, depressive vibe to it that radiates pure genius. However, be sure not to miss Mira's song. It is--quite possibly--one of the most popular tracks on the album (although they are a lesser-known band.) It is a stand-out and truly phenomenal."

Enjoyable.

"This CD was actually one of my first introductions to gothic and darkwave music. Its really not the best compilation, but its good for background music, lazying about the house, and late nights with the lights out and candles lit. =) The most outstanding artists on this I think are Voltaire and Black Tape for a Blue Girl. Voltaire has an amusing song that reminded me of a certian anime character. (cookies if you guess who it is.) If you liked Voltaire I reccomend him muchly. I espically love his song "Dead Girls." Very amusing. I also loved the song "A Girl Called Harmony" by Attrition. Another is "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Unto Ashes... If you love this kind of music, Id also reccomend you check out the singer Rasputina. =)"
