Customer Reviews:
Excellent background music, many tracks very ambient!.......2006-09-08
This is NOT goth........2003-09-04
This is NOT gothic music, folks. The first CD sounded like an 80's import from the U.K. featuring horrible off-key singers and dinky synthesizer tunes that sounded like a odious twist between the "Teletubbies" and a highschool choir. I honestly thought they had put the wrong CD in the wrong case. Every artist on this album is TERRIBLE and is nowhere near other gothic-themed albums i've heard in the past. Exactally why it was considered gothic is beyond me.
The second "Covered in Goth" CD sounded more like those ... halloween soundeffects cd's you buy at [a store] when you're getting your kids ready for trick-or-treating. Simply [weak]. ...
I have to admit, the cd cover really fooled me. Ancient imported Euro-pop garbage disguised as a gothic album. The music in this cd comes nowhere close to "goth". It's not even in the same ballpark. It should really be filed under "pop" or "miscellaneous". It's not realy techno, either.
I would have been laughing really hard at the singers on this cd if I had'nt have spent [a price] for it. ...
Dark, decadent, and oh so worth it!.......2001-12-04
Spooky elements served up well........2001-11-18
For those of you who really enjoy the whole vampire genre, this specially priced 2 CD set is the one to run out and buy. Quite frankly, at the half way mark of 2001, this set ranks at the top 5 of my list of compilations that one should have in their dark music collection.
Initially I was not too hopeful that the Covered in Goth compilation of cover songs was going to be much merit. I purchased this item merely on the desire to have the Vampire CD, as this is a genre that is near and dear to my heart, and often the toughest to locate anything of merit. Whatever connotations and reservations you may have about covered songs, wipe it from your mind and just trust that this is THE set to own. The list of contributing artists reads like a who's who in the underground, yet they all expertly gave their own interpretation to some of the finest songs. Cleopatra brilliantly scoured the other tribute compilations that they have and seemed to have put the best track from each one on this set for the most part.
The second CD, Gothic Vampires From Hell, on the other hand is a deliriously delightful bit of decadence that is from the school of Midnight Syndicate, A Murder of Angels, and Graeme Revelle all rolled into one dark delicious ball of nightmarish sound. This CD is an instrumental work with eerie sound effects that up to now, only the above named artists could pull off with any sense of finesse.
Each song segues into the next as one long composition, which is interspersed with episodic recitations from the late Rozz Williams. There is also the added closing track, "Dracula Revisits" from Two Witches, which is also an instrumental piece.
The only information I was able to glean about the creator of this marvelous disc came from Tim Dooner of Cleopatra Records: "The artist who did that piece is known only as Minister Cue (Q). There is no bio on this artist, however this piece is a triopic and after the 3rd segment Rev. Q will reveal his/her identity." In essence, if Minister Cue (Q) should happen to read this review, it is essential to know that you have won a hardcore fan to your camp and I anticipate further releases to feed my dark crimson passions.
This entire composition exudes a nightmarish seduction that is frequently overlooked or avoided in the darkwave ethereal genres. Many artists have simply tossed their hats in the ring to go the Synthpop route, leaving the dark music aficionados to fend for ourselves while we dutifully scour all music outlets for dark soundscapes to soothe our impassioned souls. It is pointless to go through a track-by-track review simply because one feeds off the next in a delightful array of morbidity. The music releases a feeling of mental cinemascope of the grandest scale, perceptibly coloring and shading every nuance that a score of this scale could ever hope to paint.
From start to finish, this brilliant orchestral composition recreates the atmosphere to such a level of the macabre, that it is highly recommended to listen with the lights off and the candles lit. For those of you who do not live on your own, you will simply have to imagine being locked in your own private castle in the nether reaches of your mind. In any event, you do owe it to yourself to have a musical vampire vacation that this disc can provide.
