			THE GOTHIC MUSIC LIST
	  		 last update: 4/2/92
          
	Here's version 18 of the Gothic Music list.
        As always, corrections and additions,comments, etc are
        gratefully accepted. Corey recommends the "Gothic Rock Black Book" by
        Mick Mercer. It's mostly typical Brit 'journalism' but has good  
	history sections and features on the Cult, All About Eve,Fields of 
	the Nephilim,the Sisters of Mercy and the Mission. There is also  a
        new book simply called "Gothic Rock" that is _much_ better. Many of 
        the defunct UK bands only recorded one single so good luck
	Only bands that have actually had a piece of music released by a real
	record company will be listed, no bands with only demo tapes.

	any information or comments should go to ieya@byron.u.washington.edu

	Again thanx to all who have contributed and send in those corrections
        and new info particularly country of origin. But please no e-mail 
        just to say 'hey, but these people aren't Goth and never have been".
	Accept that other people inevitably have widely differing opinions as
        what is and isn't Goth. This is just a list for people who enjoy 
        Gothic music and would like to know the names of some other bands to
	check out. It hardly claims to be definitive or even necessarily 
	accurate because I have to rely on contributions from numerous other
	people and can't possibly investigate all of these bands myself.
	And no mail to say 'but 'X' belongs on the first list, not the
	second. Bottom line is i do this for _me_ and bands go where i feel
	they should go.

	Compilations featuring of some of these bands are available if
	you're interested.
