Go out and get the Gothic Box Set mentioned on the site! It is a great collection of all of the fav's of the late 70's - 80's. Thank you for posting this up to date information on NOOL!
You get 3 audio CD's, 1 dvd, and a great 60 page book that details Goth style from history to proper dance steps! Very cool packaging too - comes in a black laced jacket.
Dude, it's not cool to ACT excited about it
just say "what-ever... at least its not as bad as some conformist mainstream shit", then listen to it over and over and over exclusively. drop band names into conversation whenever possible.
Interesting comments...I actually have all of the albums these songs are from...the set is a cool collectors item - even if some of the bands did go a little wayward. I also saw about 50 % of them in concert! Goth and NO / JD do mix well!
LOL

It's funny that a lot of people despise the Goths but nevertheless are ardent fans of Joy Division the band that falls into the Gothic band category. I guess their crime is that they didn't wear make-up and wigs (thank God they didn't).

Who decreed that?

Great insight - Goth, Industrial, Indie Punk - it was all part of the late 70's through the mid 90's "alternative music scene". One thing is Crystal to me though - New Order and JD are cross-generational and right from the start have kept their identity (and their top place with me) and produced the very best music and lyrics - period.

Fucking hell,wait till they find out JD weren`t born out of the ashes of PUNK...

Well, I'm not, and Joy Division aren't goths... 
Go buy a cup of coffee at Borders, they give you a 20% off coupon (most of the time) and then buy it in the store! You get about $ 13.00 US off ($ 52.00 total)

I totally agree, JD was never Goth - curious how they ended up on the CD set...there are several other acts that I never considered to be "Goth"! If you look at my profile (even in 1988) I was not a Goth either - just liked the Goth girls! 8-)
