For your aural gratification, episode 20 of Love That Album:
The Compilation Series has arrived.
Eric
Reanimator takes on the question “what is gothic rock?” Like any music style,
the answer is never straight forward. Just like “punk” is a wide umbrella,
different artists who came under the “gothic rock” tag approached it
differently.
He gives a
description and history of the genre by way of three compilations: Dismal
Abysmal Recordings Presents Watch Your Step, Vol.2 The Curse Of The Hearse, Gothic Rock 3 - Black
On Black - Best Of 80's Collection, and Release The Rats. Humour and horror
films seem to be an obvious influence on some of this material. Listen to Eric
discuss and play samples of some of his favourite tunes from these compilations
and see whether you dig them.
