Dronning Maud Land
Stare
The Realm

The Way of All Flesh

Dead Can Dance anyone?

Ooh, I -love- them! "Yulunga" is one of my favorites; I just love the tribal sound it has!

Really? Ah we'll get along just fine then hahah! And I agree with your post, the recent Goth Rock bands can't...really be compared to the classic examples of Goth Rock; Bauhaus, Danse Society, Sisters of Mercy, and so on. Currently I'm hunting for their early works. From where I am living, these are hard to find.

Yeah, most of what I have I found on Amazon.com or I have through the Zune service.

I think I like unique music that still strikes a cord with me, and honestly, I just don't see that much in common between the post-punk music artists and what passes for "modern Goth".

Sometimes on Christmas, me and my family travel to Japan. They got lots of rare Goth Rock and Post-Punk materials there. The last thing I bought there was the In The Flat Field album by Bauhaus. But usually I go visit Post-Punk.com (They have tons of Goth music compilations there.), and Last.fm haha! I should check out Zune then.

how about tiamat and moonspell?

Those are black metal garbage.
