I listened to this today, some of it is abrasive but has dance beats.

I want more stuff that goes well with the hip-hop and funk on my computer.

Virgin Prunes are a good example, I was listening to them too. I like reggae / dub with "goth" too.

Yeah def go for Bauhaus then.
― Dearth Disco (Trayce), Thursday, 10 September 2009 07:01 (sixteen years ago)
Despite all their Crowley/esoteric inclinations, dont know if 23 Skidoo can qualify as "goth": but they knew a thing or two about funk.
Also some Clock DVA.
― Marco Damiani, Thursday, 10 September 2009 07:11 (sixteen years ago)
Skidoo definitely new a thing or two about goth, even if they did precede it by a couple of years.

hang on, didn't the Mission do a dance styled album, with funky drum loops ?
and yes, i too thought that nick.

This sounds deeply horrific. Hook me up someone.
― Peinlich Manoeuvre (NickB), Thursday, 10 September 2009 09:02 (sixteen years ago)
Not sure how 23 Skidoo precede goth by a couple of years, since they were formed in 1979, the same year Bela Lugosi's Dead came out, and they were playing DIY post-punk then anyway.
― Colonel Poo, Thursday, 10 September 2009 09:06 (sixteen years ago)
ah ha ..
"The Mission, for some strange reason, went for a little bit of everything. "Never Again," the opener on Masque, sounds like the Mission really trying to go big-league '90s U2-Achtung Baby style, but ending up a bit more like a dance remix of themselves than a multi-styled stadium filler. "

no idea as to whether its 'funky' ..

"regiment" by brian eno/david byrne isn't strictly goth, but it would probably fit in nicely on a "funky goth" itunes playlist

Worth it for the clown playing the cello though
surely that was the inspiration for psychoville
― mark e, Thursday, 10 September 2009 09:23 (sixteen years ago)
Not seen Psychoville but if it involves someone repeatedly hitting Wayne Hussey in the nuts with a banjo, then the music of the Mission probably did inspire it.

― Lord Crutsos Omicron (Curt1s Stephens), Friday, 11 September 2009 04:39 (sixteen years ago)
"Go!" by Tones on Tail would be a better funky example wouldnt it? Still, theres that Bauhaus connection again...

Oh ok if we're getting into new wave/disco then that opens up the floor completely (and for creaky old ex-goths like me, that stuff totally does count).
― Dearth Disco (Trayce), Friday, 11 September 2009 05:50 (sixteen years ago)
I dunno if I'd call Dead or Alive/Visage/Bronski Beat funky though.

Oh whoops -- I thought you meant not goth. Were Dead or Alive funky? I think so. I mean, Bootsy Collins didn't lose any sleep, but they certainly tried to be.
