so, are The Birthday Party "goth" ? i would assume so..but i really have no clue as to what their live shows were like. they seem to fit the definition of rock meets cabaret, though

Isolee- "I Owe You" : I don't know, I hear some Cure in this song. Maybe those strings conjure Disintegration or something. Other Isolee songs fit as well, but this came to mind first.
Psychic TV- "Jigsaw" and "Horror House" : listen to "Jigsaw" and then listen to "Love Is Stronger Than Pride"
Superpitcher- "Tell Me About It" : lots of his stuff, per mentions above
Skinny Puppy- "Deep Down Trauma Hounds" : I'm kind of wondering if this is maybe THE original micro-goth track: the bubbly opening synths, then the kick drum, then the washes, then the deconstruction...I used to drop this in dance sets, but always had to quickly abandon ship because Ogre's vocals go off the deep end a few minutes in and it tends to clear the floor

Them early club mixes of Soft Cell you mention are incredibly great/evil/filthy-sounding (in more ways than one).

Where Marc Almond does sort of sneak in is with the Hacker remix of "Soul on Soul".

I guess I'm hung up a bit on the muscularity of "Tottentanz". Definitely dark, with some very goth Middle Eastern compositional structure going on (at least that's what I'm hearing in the track), but I was thinking more melancholy than melodrama or muscularity. But then again all three is pretty much Creatures in a nutshell, or Blue Sunshine, so ok- I'm with you.

there also seems to be a substrata of cyber sounding goth coming around. The pan pot stuff hints at it. Not so romantic just dark and a bit brutal.

So, I've gotten word Agoria's at the controls may be a micro-goth masterpiece of sorts. Any confirmation on this or other things about it worth noting?

The definitive micro-goth release?

isn't this "goth", I must listen to it again as I didn't hear any "micro".
― mmmm, Monday, 7 April 2008 19:10 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

And that is why I will never, ever use the term micro-goth in public.
Not that I like the term at all to begin with.

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...
