Lycia This Mortal Coil Black Tape for a Blue Girl Front 242's "Flag" |
hee hee! |
I was seriously disillusioned with all things Gothic in high school. I discovered the Projekt record label and got excited by their catalog. Here's a sample, a description of Lycia's sound: "Isolation. Loneliness. Neglect. Distance. Such is the emotion of Lycia. ... Taking the name of a city in ancient Greece, Lycia evokes the imagery of a long-lost mythological landscape. ... Whether it's the vast emptiness of the desert or the bleakness of a winter scene, Lycia's dark, soothing sound evokes sadness and release." I mean, come on! That's got to be cool, right? I had to have me some of that. Talk about bait-and-switch. Lycia (at least what I've heard) is fairly boring. You get some whispery atmospherics covering some trite synth music. The exception was a song called "Renewal" -- that's a neat song. black tape for a blue girl is pretty embarrassing. The music is pretty but the vocals are so over the top. Ghastly. That's the biggest problem with the "Gothic" music I've heard -- it's like the neat ideas are there, but the people are such melodramatic freaks that they screw everything up. They have no concept of restraint or subtlety. |

just fuel to the fire of why we call you our goth(ic) queen. |
Isn't that a cool album cover? I still have a t-shirt of the band with that image on the front. |
