    An especially tasty release, Gothic Club Classics brings you the top of the line artists and tracks on this double disc release from Oblivion/SPV. As the title relays, twenty-eight tracks exemplify the Gothic aural theatre of past which paints a rich assortment of excellent bands to the forefront of the dark music canvas.
    All of the tracks on this release are worthy of your listening if you enjoy Gothic music. Obviously, Oblivion knows their stuff ! From the famed Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, to Bauhaus, to Einstürzende Neubauten, the songs on Gothic Club Classics is a rich and diverse blend of dancey woeful and harsh expression of human drama, good and evil, and walking the line. The first CD is a little more softer in music than the second disk, which has a more harsh agressive tendency, with the exception of the EN, Angina Pectoris and Children of No Return tracks.
    This release is highly recommended to those of you who are old time listeners of the Gothic scene, or just getting into this sound. If you have never heard any Gothic music, I suggest you get this release as an introduction to the genre. Hail to Oblivion for releasing this uncompromising collection of the best of the Gothic hits.
