The aim of the band was to catch all the energies and emotions felt and put them in songs. “Requiem Rosa” contains some classic like “Dorian”, “The London Fog” and “Like a noise” and achieved great reviews from all the gothic scene all over the world.
After involvements in compilations from Greece, Russia and Germany in 2009 a new song called “The Buried Cat” was released for german magazine “Dark Spy vol. 21” and the same year the band was included in the english goth journalist Mick Mercer’s book titled “Music To Die For”.

Information:

The Swedish post-punk/shoegaze band Principe Valiente mesmerized their listeners with their exceptional self-titled debut album in 2011, resulting in an extensive and successful tour throughout Europe. Having shared the stage with Peter Hook and The Light, Peter Murphy (Bauhaus) and playing at the WGT Festival in Leipzig (Germany), the band started to prepare for their second album "Choirs of Blessed Youth".
Last year a part of their new work was unveiled with the singles "Take Me With You" and "She Never Returned", a collaboration with producer Niklas Björklund and star producer Ed Buller who was responsible for mixing the two singles.
With "Choirs of Blessed Youth" Principe Valiente have managed to make an irresistibly beautiful and intense continuation of what was started in their debut album. Resting in the shadowy arms of melancholy, their re?ned sound glistens with a coating of elegant darkness captivating the listener’s heart.

Information:

“into the sea, we’ll bleed”

Originally formed in the late 80's, The Last Cry hail from the Brighton area of the UK’s south coast. Through several lineup changes up until the early 90's, they forged their way on the Goth scene with their Nephilim/Cult-esque sound as one of the genre’s rising stars. And then, like my Counting the Mad, came the crash.

After nearly a decade of silence, the band re-emerged in 2002 with a rejigged lineup, and a honed and more precise sound. Original drummer Andrew Birch took over the frontman’s shoes, Tim Green exchanged his synths for a Les Paul guitar, with only bassist Chris Carey staying in position. Their brand of dark and atmospheric rock is by no means a dirge, and is easily accessible to anyone with an ear for decent music. Having caught them live recently, I can only describe their sound as ‘imagine what the result would be if the Cure and Depeche Mode were to collaborate’. Birch’s vocals are strong, clear and reminiscent of Gahan and Vanian at times, but the pure emotional turmoil of his lyrics and onstage persona give him the edge over most other performers in his genre. As a spectator to his torment, you can actually feel this man’s pain.

Being a three piece band, The Last Cry are by no means backed my a mere ‘boom boom-kah’ drum track. Their carefully crafted backing machine consists of realistic rhythms, noirish keyboards, and a few vocal harmonies. Being as Birch and Green had previous experience on drums and keys respectively, this has given the band the authenticity of having ‘live’ players on the backing.

If you get a chance to see them play live, don’t miss it! Their debut album “Walking to the Edge” is available online, and is worth every penny. Tracks I recommend are, “Cross of Hope”, “Rebekka”, and the magnificently anthemic “Out of the Sky”. The Last Cry are a band that prove that Goth isn’t dead, it just might have a new nephew on the block.

Aris Zarakas - Guitars, Programming
Dirk Wildenhues - Guitars
Gunter Buechau - Keys


Information:

Since it was given birth back in 1998 the GOLDEN APES has been known as a shimmering gem in the independent wave- and gothic-scene. It is the difficulty of a rigid definition und their versatility, that provides the band a status stamped by requirement and content, making them an important constant within the musical landscape, that lies beyond the common mainstream.
From the bandname, borrowed from the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, through to the powerful picture language and surrealistic items, which are basics of the bands oeuvre, conducted by Peer Lebrecht´s poetic lyrics, which are thematically on a restless scout among melancholy and mystic, emotion and philosophy, sustained by catchy but complex arrangements, which avoid to bow to borders and conventions for keeping a emotional depth between melody and emotion, between roughness and longing You can discover every listening in a different new way.
The band has always admitted itself to the significant artists of the scene the members grew up with, but without pointing out someone especial-you will find those moments from time to time listening carefully to the music. Coincidentally by publishing “Denying The Towers Our Words Are Falling From …” at the latest as their current full length album, GOLDEN APES in some ways found themselves emancipated from these influences, but only to create an individual, distinctive own style within that universe.
There are six full-length albums published until now, which show a continuous and passionate development in GOLDEN APES’ work and if you spend some time to engage yourself in the lyrics and the whole band’s cosmos, you’ll find what has ever made the GOLDEN APES unique: a depth and richness of detail, that lets you space for dreaming and inspiration for your own thinking. In this respect, the band not only musically, but also aesthetically and intellectually assigns their individual position in the scene.

Jawa Seth - Bass


Information:

Completely unphased by trends and inclination for ingratiation to the listener Artaud Seth in his role as mastermind behind the MERCIFUL NUNS continues to traverse his chosen musical path. Produced brilliantly not only in the context of present demands but quite simply seminal for timeless great music. Goth as a mixture of widescreen epic and massive walls of guitar sound, sacred choir chants, rattling drum computer and Artaud's sepulchral voice permeating through every fibre of one's body, at times plunging its intrinsic despair deep into the heart of the listener. MERCIFUL NUNS are much more than just the sole legitimate successor of the three musicians' legendary former band GARDEN OF DELIGHT! The NUNS have already attained cult status and must be regarded as seminal for intelligent listening pleasure!

For those who listen first to "Sieben" just a explanation to understand the recording or what happened on stage:
Every note and sound and also percussive sounds and also the drumming - he made all the
sounds using (or abusing ;-) ) his violin on the concert, looping + building them up in a foot pedal operated sampler. EVERYTHING IS LIVE!

Was not able to find the 2 missing track names. Possibly they are unreleased yet.

Drawn from a collective obsession with fringe philosophy and post-new-age consciousness, Self Initiation evokes the moods & spaces of 4AD’s early roster (Swans, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins), with a nod to contemporaries The Soft Moon, Factory Floor & Portishead’s ‘Third’. Thick pulsing rhythms erupt into glorious, cascading conclusion; from narcissistic rants, to sickly crooned anthems; from the outer regions of reality to the depths of the subconscious, a white shadow emerging from the process: ASCETIC.
Recorded, mixed & mastered at Birdland by Lindsay Gravina & Rob Long (HTRK, New War, Rowland S. Howard, Hungry Ghosts).
Ascetic: - Self Initiation was released worldwide through OSCL Records on March 4th, 2013.

"Do you have a dark side? You will after you listen to Aeon Sable." (DeathRat Fanzine)

“The psychonauts have waited long enough for the dark star to shine…”
(Nino Sable & Din-Tah Aeon, 2010)

Aeon Sable is a gothic rock band with a psychedelic touch, highly influenced by esotericism which was formed in 2010 in Essen by Din-Tah Aeon and Nino Sable. The creativity and dexterity of the two musicians, involved in several projects of the German and Portuguese underground scene since 1997, has allowed them to travel to seductively-surprising territory creating an alluring, dark atmosphere that continues to command the attention of the fans in Europe and beyond. "Do you have a dark side? You will after you listen to Aeon Sable" (DeathRat Fanzine, 2012)

The duo signed to afmusic, unveiled their latest release “Aequinoctium” in September 2013. A 5 track mini album consisting of songs written during the recordings of “Saturn Return” and a surprise gift for their audience, offering them a taste of the versatile blend contained in the new full length album the group is currently working on. The band’s devotion and intense drive for constant growth on every aspect of their art lead Aeon Sable to give rare live performances through which they invite fans to enter their creative realms. Upcoming shows are taking place on Friday 22nd of November at Urban Spree (Berlin) and on Saturday 21st of December at Cage Club (Bottrop) while the psychonauts will be making a special guest appearance on 24th of December in Schwarze Weihnacht event in Moritzbastei, Leipzig. In 2014 Aeon Sable will be emerging from the dark tunnels of imagination once again to hunt the stages of Gotham Sounds Festival (Hilden) in May and Wave Gothic Treffen (Leipzig) in June.

Din-Tah Aeon (guitars/programming/production, instrumentalist-songwriter) and Nino Sable (vocals/lyrics/production, graphics & media designer) started Aeon Sable as a studio project only and delivered a very individual interpretation of gothic rock in their quickly sold out debut album “Per Aspera Ad Astra” released in February 2010. Enraptured by nature and the most obscure sides of the subconscious mind, utmost fascinated by magic and all forms of art, the band continued their atmospheric journey and their second full length album “Saturn Return” was released in the end of 2012. The group, dually inspired by the cold melodies of black metal, ambient and gothic rock, along with the spirit of the country Nino was raised, Portugal, revealed a hunting album cherished by their fans and the media, giving rise to requests for live performances. Aeon Sable felt obliged to appear live on stage and thus, had to invite guest musicians.
The live band consisting of Quoth on the bass, Joh alongside Din-Tah Aeon on the guitars and Nino Sable on vocals, performed in 2013 in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Oberhausen, Essen and Emergency Exit Festival in Dornbirn (Austria). Aeon Sable have appeared in several radio talk shows in Germany while articles and reviews about the band and their albums have been published by numerous gothic and metal magazines including Reflections of Darkness, Gothic Magazine, Legacy, Intravenous Magazine, Dark Spy and Orkus. Produced in Hong Kong in 2012, the official video of the band’s hit single “Dancefloor Satellite” was exclusively streamed on Orkus!TV and appeared in DVD compilations throughout Germany. “Dancefloor Satellite” has been remixed by 17 bands from all over the world and a collection of these remixes alongside the original and “Dying Motion” version can be found in an album available for free download on NoiseTrade.

Their three albums are available on every major download store while “Saturn Return” (Vinyl and CD) and “Aequinoctium” (CD) can be acquired through the band’s Bandcamp site as well as several stores and mail orders in Europe. Din-Tah Aeon and Nino Sable are dedicated in sustaining their inimitable personality by creating and developing a distinctive form of musical art; from composing, recording, mixing and mastering to the artwork and website - everything is made solely by the band. Allow yourself to enter the world of Aeon Sable and journey with the psychonauts in the darkest realms…

Band:

Hervé Carles - Bass Guitar
Nicolas Mons - Guitar
Franck Ligabue - Drums
Andy Julia - Vocals

David-Alexandre Parquier was missing because he was sick and wasn't able to do the gig.

Formerly from Toulouse (southern France), SOROR DOLOROSA was originally founded in 2001, with Andy (Nuit Noire, Mutiilation, Peste Noire, Celestia, Darvulia, Fornication) on drums, Franck (ex Funeraell) on guitar, Herve (ex Funeraell) on bass, and Christophe Guenot (ex Funeraell) on vocals.
Herve came up with the name of SOROR DOLOROSA because of a novel titled "Bruges-la-morte" by Georges Rodenbach, a Flemish symbolist writer from the late 19th century.
A novel marked by symbolism of nostalgia and mourning. SOROR DOLOROSA means "Sister Pain" in Latin, one could almost translate it as "lovers of pain" in a more Baudelaire way...

The band recorded an unpublished demo, then the line-up changed in 2003 with the arrival of Emey (ex Contrast, Unscarred ...), who replaced Franck on guitar.
Subsequently they recorded a second unpublished demo and did some gigs until they split in 2005.

In August 2007 they reformed with the present line up. A month later, based on songs written by bassist Carles Herve, the band recorded a third unpublished demo whose content sounds definitely Gothic Rock and Death Rock, influenced by groups such as Christian Death, Bauhaus, and The Sisters of Mercy.
From that time, Soror Dolorosa's style became more personal and they found an own identity as a band. The songs were now written by the four members together, though still mostly based on the bass guitar.
They took on a Cold Wave colouring, more in line with bands such as The Cure or Human League, but also with hints of 70's rock like Deep Purple or Black Sabbath and retaining the Sisters of Mercy-like Gothic Rock influence.

Soror Dolorosa made their first record appearance with "American Chronicle" in March 2008, on the free compilation "Poisoned Dead Frogs" (Manic Depression): http://www.manicdepressionrecords.com/frogs.php
When the third demo was out on myspace, the group was contacted to release an EP through the British label Todestrieb Records.
This 6 track EP, entitled "Severance", wasn't released until August 2009 due to production delays and is being distributed through underground ways, while the band promoted it with successful live performances all over France.

Some time in 2009, through the help of Neige (Amesoeurs, Alcest), the band came in contact with Northern Silence Productions, who offered to release their upcoming albums on their newly founded sublabel Beneath Grey Skies, and subsequently produced the debut full length "Blind Scenes", recorded in August 2010 at Drudenhaus Studio.
To use the band's own words: "The album is quite cold, with misty blue moods. 'Blind Scenes' would rather be perceived as scenes unseen, that is to say, out of time and out of the real world.
As a state of grace overshadowed by the inevitability of everyday life. The lyrics are heartfelt and talk about regrets, coldness, alcohol abuse, as well as forfeiture, but mostly nostalgia, hence the blue color of the music."

That's also why they chose "Drudenhaus Studio" (CNK, Alcest, Les Discrets, Varsovie, Necroblaspheme), recommended by Neige, who described it as an ideal place to record their music.
On the one hand because the studio is analog, and on the other hand because it is located in Brittany's countryside, isolated from the rest of the world, with compulsory rain in August.
It was produced by Benoit Roux "Mr. Xort" (ex Anorexia Nervosa), who recorded additional keyboards.
The album artwork & layout was done by Metastazis, who is one of the best illustrators/designers of the underground scene and worked for Alcest, Anathema, Antaeus, Enthroned, Forgotten Woods, Gorgoroth, Immolation, Secrets of the Moon, Taake, Listenable Records, Osmose Productions & Warner Bros.

So, that's how Soror Dolorosa appear today, which is quite a feat, knowing their respective influences.
Andy, as a drummer, has been marked by Black Metal and Metal in general but also by the likes of Human League, Fields of the Nephilim or Ulver's latest albums. Herve is a big fan of The Cure, Depeche Mode and Christian Death. Emey is somewhat influenced by Metallica, Satriani, Vai, but also Blues & Movie Soundtracks. Franck listens to bands as diverse as Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi or The French Variety, as well as Reggae, although he is primarily a Beatles fan. However, since the basics for their songs often come from bass riffs, the colour of the music naturally goes into the direction of Gothic/Death Rock and Cold Wave.

recorded mainly during the 1991 "Tyranny Tour".
Track 13 is taken from the 1989 "Front By Front Tour".
Most of the tracks' locations are unidentified, with the exception of
"Rhythm Of Time" (Biskuithalle, Bonn, March 26, 1991),
"DSM 123 & Moldavia" (Zeleste, Barcelona, May 18, 1991) and
"Punish Your Machine" (Bogart's, Cincinnati, September 13, 1991).
The Bootleg is also listed on the Bands official homepage Discography.

07. ATTACK
08. PROBLEMS
09. PUBLIC IMAGE
10. ANNALISA

John Lydon - Vocals

Audience recording, about 8.5/10 quality.

Cassette (See Notes) > Yamaha KX393 (Dolby Off) > EWS MT88 soundcard > WAV > Wavelab (recording & splitting tracks only) > FLAC 6.

This is from what looks like a mass produced cassette - plain black cassette with a typed stickers - "PUBLIC IMAGE LIVE" "A FROGGY FREAKOUT" & "00018" are the only things written on it. Been in my possesion since 1979. There are a few dropouts, &  recall having to splice it back together at some point. Anyway, it's an improvement on the one available on DIME a few months back. I've not listened to the vinyl version for years, but I seem to remember that this tape sounded better.

Enjoy

Not many early Fad Gadget recordings out in the wild so thought this was worth sharing when I stumbled upon an old tape I received in trade c.1983. Wish I had more information about this recording. I've heard track 1 somewhere before but can't find among the catalog of Fad Gadget I have.
If anyone has more information on exact date or who else was on the bill, please let me know.

Cabaret Voltaire - Paradiso, Amsterdam, The Netherlands - 24.09.1980 (Flac)

FM Recording. Superb sound quality

Lineage: TDK AD60 -> Tapedeck Yamaha KX-493 -> Soundblaster AWE32 -> Wavelab 4.0 -> TLH -> FLAC 6 -> Dime

Tracklist:
01. Kneel to the boss
02. This is entertainment
03. On every other street
04. Seconds too late
05. Here she comes now
06. No escape
07. Western mantra

Original Notes:
A rare cassette of this performance exists (C-45) with three more songs on it ("This Is Entertainment", "On Every Other Street", "Western Mantra"), but it's not an official release, I think. And it's of lower quality. So this tape transfer is worth an update.

dimenew's cassette states 1980-04-24 as date of the gig. Anybody out there who knows the right date definetly ?

Have also a look at:

Nothing to add except on the lineage of this upload :

I'm digitizing my tape collection, mostly recorded from Dutch radio in the 80s and early 90s. The original tapes will be binned and after seeding I will not keep the original flac sets, so unfortunately I will not be able to reseed them in the future.

My personal requests:
- Billy Bragg: London 1989-11-29 (complete FM)
- The Call: Amsterdam 1987 or any other FM
- Fischer Z: 2 Meter Sessie 1989-08-15
- Jesus & Mary Chain: Rotterdam, Pandora's Music Box, 1985-10-11
- any recording from any of the Pandora's Music Box festivals in Rotterdam 1983-1985
- Van Halen: Pinkpop 1980-05-26
If you have any of these, please share on Dime!
