This is a compilation of dark music from the Boston area, spearheaded By Decorative records. In a word: awesomess! Some of the bands included I know and then a few I just learned of through this compilation. Standouts: Lucretia's Daggers is an electro darkwave that should remind you of Siouxsie meets Faith & the Muse. LOVELY! Harmonic Tide by Amber Spyglass has an Asian goth tone to it and it's really stunning. The Twelfth of Never's cut is a shoegaze goth gem with dreamy vocals. Other strong tracks- Mark McGettrick, Sharon Crumrine, What time is it Mr. Fox are all great bands to discover with fusion blends of jazz and classical with goth- genius and inventive. There are more bands on this cd worth investing in as one of your new cds of 2010!
