not sure how the germans would react if you told them they were 'micro-goth', though -- being a goth has a very different resonance in germany than it does here in america (or australia, i'm guessing)

Yeah I was listening to Sinking (much better than Seeking Pleasure in my opinion, if only because it's goth and groovy) a few weeks ago and thought there was a real resemblence there. I really love that tough industrial techno loop thing they had going, esp. how it combined with those sparkling piano and string bits which sounded plucked straight from Disintegration. The guys deserve genius status for "Stuck On The Shelf" alone. But (crucially) there's no disco left in The Aloof.
You can hear that Blumfeld track in the first mix here.

I always thought this was the direction the Cure should have headed in after Disentegration. 'Sinking' sounds like the great lost Cure album, even the title sounds right!

No wonder I love all this stuff to death, given that goth was pretty much the first genre I could call mine (well, "goth" in the loosest definition, anyway - I was always very confused by Jesus and Mary Chain, as a wee lad, because they looked so goth while sounding so rock!).

I have to disagree, these bands have been appropriated by Goth and fit into the goth framework or project, but they exist on their own outside of it. The Cure are straight-up GOTH.

isn't this "goth", I must listen to it again as I didn't hear any "micro".

I take it that Agoria mix mentioned a while ago never got US release or even wide import release? It's always fun tracking down stuff that isn't on any download stores. Is it really as good as the five star RA review says?
― mh, Monday, 7 April 2008 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link
I've just browsed through the Brinkmann in a record shop this past weekend, so I only have a first impression, but it seemed to contain lots of "micro" elements (clicky percussive filaments and so on). Would like to hear from those more familiar with this release...

God, Radioslave's remix of Le Noir's Eleny is a truly spellbinding piece of work, brilliant. In fact, my dislike of Radioslave, as pushed to disguist come Bell Clap Dance has been well pacified by this.
Oh Micro-Goth, I think I've decided you are my very favourite style of music.

from K. Ross Hoffman's AMG review of PdP's Black Noise:
...and "Behind the Stars" brings on the grinding electro keyboards and dark, distorted vocals, recalling the "micro-goth" tag sometimes applied to his earlier work...

None of those really sound especially microhouse, which is of course half of what makes micro-goth what it is (and in which case you'd be hard pressed to find new examples). Of course, I'm being a total sticker, but only because you had the audacity to say I was 'doing it wrong.' Puh-leeze.
