Surprised Luka hasn't suggested any drill in here. Not sure how 'Goth' is defined but isn't there something spooky and satanic about it? Lex Luger/Trap was obviously heavily influenced by Three-6 Mafia. Also you get certain drill rappers talking about JuJu.

I dunno what goth is though really lol so might be way off.

I like this mix and the reel torque tape they did (think it might be the same thing, definitely some crossover looking at the tracklists)

Part 1:


Part 2


But I prefer 'the smoking man' tape which conor Thomas did:

I've got it somewhere and used to cane it in the car when I had a tape player in there. Have now had to retire that car and got a CD player in the new one, so all the tapes have gone in the cupboard.

It's a brilliant mix, the two standout tunes for me being:


(Which is erroneously labelled as 'Makes Me Wanna Die (A Called Gerald The Stinky Green Mix)' which I don't think exists, its the piano remix).

He sort of takes tricky's traditional whisper and crushes even more life out of it, so you really have to strain to hear the faint tone. And then this lovely dusty chugging dnb beat.

Gerald opened his' 1 in the jungle' mix with it which is another really good moody jungle mix


And the other really good one, which I'd never heard befor, is the closing tune on side 2:


A proper drop on that one.

Mark Stewart. I picked up the self titled album on vinyl at a car boot sale and when I put it on, I thought it was a piss take. His 'orrible warbling and crooning, truly bizarre. I was like, how is this music?

I was probably about 18, 19 when I got it.

I got the reference to Donna summer and thought how weird to do that. And of course the ryuichi sakamoto riff, although I probably didn't know what it was at the time, but had heard it before.

But I came to love the whole record, played it to death.

Particularly love how he keeps going back to the same bit of music and lyrics, keeps repeating bits. It's like one long thing rather than individual songs.

Went on a proper Mark Stewart binge after that and got all the pop group stuff and found Keith leblanc, but this has always remained my favourite lp of his.

I saw him and Keith plus doug Wimbish perform when massive attack curated the meltdown and it was so good. Free gig iirc and they were awesome.

Another one where for a while uncarved was the only place with some info on him!

And I saw him at Leeds train station when I was working on the barrier and I let him through, he was all confused, I said he could come through cos he was special. He was up in Leeds to meet a guy to do some bhangra.

I love that about him as well, how he pays attention to all the music coming from cars and likes ruff neck bhangra and dubstep. What an absolute legend.

I love Mark Stewart, never thought of him as goth though, really, or even related.

I listened to A Forest by The Cure earlier and was struck by how dubbed out it was - the bassline more prominent than the lead guitar.
Reminded me how much I love this - pop-goth? A perfect record when you're in the mood. Though perhaps Smith is the most anodyne choice to reach for on this thread.

Fucking hell, Lullaby as well. I'm sure contemporary goths spat on the street in contempt at the TOTP normies digging their scene.

the cure are really good. They got canonised at some point, not sure exactly the year. We all just suddenly noticed they had loads of great songs

My stepdad is a roofer and he once fixed Robert Smiths roof. Proudest moment of his life haha. Apparently he had his hair and makeup all done up but was wearing trackies and a football shirt.

huge here with young goth girls, they all wore cure t-shirts and swooned in their bedrooms over Robert's gloomy lyrics.
