Description:

I've really been into alot of gothic music lately. I don't consider myself to be a goth, and you wouldn't guess by looking at me that I'm into it. I really like playing darker music when I'm in a creative mood. You will create 1 CD for 1 partner. All tracks must be of the gothic\darkwave\dark ambient\deathrock genres. No heavy metal, no Nine Inch Nails or Marylin Manson. Include an attractive cover with track listings. I'm hoping to discover some new music through this swap. If you're unsure what constitutes "gothic" music, do a little research. Here is a short list of groups to help get you headed in the right direction if you're not familiar with these genres: Specimen, Faith and the Muse, Swans, 45 Grave, Cocteau Twins, Jarboe, The Birthday Party, Joy Division...ect. Please explore this music and dig up some obscure goodies for this swap! Please no flakers!

also, just to add..."goth" can include a large amount of 80's (the more dark, emotional, etc stuff....some main streamers are the Cure, Siouxie and the Banshies, The Smiths, etc), punk has a tendency to cross genras with goth...though that'd often be a taste thing, Industrial music almost always falls into the genra as well. Techno, Trance and the like have been known to make themselves known in the "goth" scenes...but as with 80's music....it's does not include everything...

I've actually found "goth" to be one of the most varied genras...including most types of music, and often being more of a feel/mood thing.

But still, if you're not familiar with it....do some research, it is very easy to find examples. :^)

There is some metal that would be considered goth. It's too bad there is a "NO" metal music ban on this.

poeticpaper 05/19/2009 #

you say it's goth, but you can't include NIN or Manson?

friendshipforever 05/20/2009 #

Please NO Marylin Manson

lilkye 05/20/2009 #

NIN and Manson are a bit too mainstream...everyone's heard or heard of them. I'd say it's more so that there's a better chance of people experiencing new songs and artists...

jeanland 05/21/2009 #

NIN & Manson would be more industrial than goth...

jeanland 05/21/2009 #

That's not to say that I don't like industrial... because i do likes! :)
