This number three spot is always the most daring. I've been skipping the most obvious Goth bands The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees and/or the Sister of Mercy as we have done just about everything from those bands. I was able to do Bauhaus and the upcoming stuff isn't bad but that's the future. As for the Fields, I just want to do this and it was originally going to be the second album but then missing so many songs from the first. I really didn't consider their third album but it seems to have a lot of fans, I personally have never heard it. I then almost did their live album but that is more about the third album as well and is too short, even if it is 77 minutes long but only had nine songs. So a compilation instead, two in a row. This has seven songs from The Nephilim so this ultimately worked for me.

Forgot to add, this comp ends with a live version of "Dawnrazor" but has a bonus CD. I added that bonus CD, cutting any duplicate remixes and then added that single to close it out.

Oh this is hard. Played the hell out of that comp during my senior HS year

Fans, you say?

Full version of "Sumerland," obv., especially when played at 33 rpm from the 45 rpm 12" and sounding even more like utter and total apocalypse. But their best album is Earth Inferno, a live release and not represented here (and the best song from it is "Last Exit For the Lost").

unfortunately this comp was not included in the boxset.
would have ended up the disc i played the most if it had been.

I only know the first two albums, so this is the first time hearing this and will get my vote from my Goth heart.

^Psychonaut Lib. III btw, and there are four versions of Psychonaut but I doubt any are as good.

This reminds me that I first heard Joy Division from my mom's copy of the "She's Lost Control" 12". But I didn't know that I had to change the speed. So probably the first 10 times I heard those songs was at 33 rpm. Those slowed-down versions are still baked into my brain.

I think Ned is on to something here

Ned is 100% OTM - even though I'm partial to the 16 minute opening medley "Intro (Dead But Dreaming) / For Her Light / At The Gates Of Silent Memory (Paradise Regained)"

Perfect example of a band that somehow, inexplicably, rose from the ludicrous to the sublime. They’re still a hard sell because of the frontman and the small town goth looks, but they locked into some type of musical trancelike nirvana. Strange that they never managed to do something interesting after they disbanded. I would have thought they would become even more interesting once they got rid of the spaghetti goth image they started with

This poll has been a revelation for me. I thought of this band as Sisters of Mercy clones but they're so much more than that. Hybrid of many bands, they're extremely talented.

Lyrics online is saying:

Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes {Possibly: Ice!}

lol, I thought and wished it was: lies, lies, lies, lies

Goth is so much fun! I'll shut up for now.
