CD Review VARIOUS ARTISTS: MOONLIGHT.CORPORATION V1.0

by wa.thedeadpoets.org


Today's goth scene is not your mother's goth scene, heck, its not even
your older brother's goth scene. The scene is now comprised of many,
many vastly different styles. This is primarily because of the wide open
arms the goth scene has always shown to those with an unusual creative
vision.

So for the new fan who doesn't know Bella Morte from Black Tape for a
Blue Girl, The Cruxshadows from Coil, or Dead Poets Society from Dead
Can Dance what are they to do? Visit the net? Sure. Download a couple of
mp3s, check things out, sure. But what if the poor unfortunate soul
doesn't have internet access? Beg, steal, or borrow from that one goth
friend?

Have no fear. (heroic fanfare) MOONLIGHT CORPORATION comes to the
rescue.

MOONLIGHT CORPORATION V1.0, a seventeen track compilation from SECTOR 19
(www.sector19.com) is the perfect primer for anyone interested in
sampling (pun intended) a little of all the wonderful ear-candy the
goth/darkwave/EBM/industrial scene has to offer. Best yet, it truly
shows off the best of the underground scene. Folks that are probably
unknown to even the uber-gothic except for perhaps AutoCad.

Highlights on this gem include industrialized Mind Flux Funeral's "Soul
and Substance", cyber-rapcore Sounds of Mass Production (SMP)'s Miltia
Love, Electronic-Body-Music (EBM) of Autocad's "Dock to Dock 2001", and
the misty gothic fog of Jailbird's "Delirium Tremens".
