Anders Manga: Infinite Gaze to the Sun
Reminds me of a gothy kind of rockabilly. In fact I think there is actually such a thing. The guitar riffs in "Murder in the Convent" have an Andrew WK feel that makes it hard to belive that I'm listening to goth music. "Catastrophe" is kitchy but competant. Great video. Overall nothing particularly exciting about this album, but at least it doesn't leave you mourning for the genre like so many other bland as fuck industrial albums that have come out lately.
Conjure One: Exilarch
This is pretty good shit. It's really surprising how much better this band is than Front Line Assembly. Maybe it's because it's Rhys Fulber collaborating with other artists that brings it out of the boring funk that FLA has been in for so long. Lotsa great stuff on this album. It's like FLA with a soul.
O Children: O Children
Some compare them to Bauhaus, I think they sound more like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I love the video for "Dead Disco Dancer".
Brendan Perry: Ark
I don't want to sound like an age-ist, (I can't afford to since I'm practically 30) but I'm impressed that darkwave as good as this can come from a 50 year old. But then again, ho old is Gary Numan now?
