Comment:
I have always thought that a serious compilation should start with
the teaser to give it a dynamic boost. Indeed, here it is Eternal
Something's
September
chiming like Cocteaus on synths. As a record label entitles itself
The Blog That Celebrates Itself you can be sure it comes out mainly
with shoegaze inspired tracks full of purple tinged dreams, hazy
beauty, colourful fantasies and psychedelic fringes. But not only
this –
you can hear also proto-shoegaze sounds the likes of harking back to
Cocteau Twins, and Durutti Column. Indeed, all the modern ways bring
back to the post-punk sound. By the way, there is represented one
track coming very directly from the goth/post-punk breed and there
are up a few exceptions additionally. One of those is a favourite of
mine the track called
Ethereal
Love by Dead Serpent at
utmost dreams. I would call it infinite darkgaze/ethereal wave.
Additionally to the aforementioned artists there are represented such
artists as Tropique Noir, Hazed, Bugjar, Pure Confusion, Street Bird,
The Wagner Logic, Ikiryo, Strange Things, The Last Passenger, Elegant
Dead Star, and European Ghost.
