filed in Darkwave Bands on May.24, 2009
Or any derivative, such as darkness, darker, darkened, etc.
Song: "Dark Chest of Wonders" by Nightwish
Band: Dark Sanctuary
Album: Dark Passion Play by Nightwish
Genre: Neoclassical darkwave
BQ: Kate Bush or Tori Amos, who do you prefer?
Darkwave, dark ambient, dark cabaret, I'm sure you can come up with a genre. If there's not many to choose from, that makes it easier to choose. ;D
song – Dark Wave – Stephen Malkmus
Band – unfortunately I can't think of one.
Album – probably Oingo Boingo's Dark At the End of the Tunnel
I haven't heard any dark wave music that I can think of, but principly I could see myself liking it in theory. I thought that I once saw Elliott Smith classified as "Sad Core" which sounds pretty dark. I bet there is Dark Folk that could either go in the direction of someone like Leonard Cohen or Elliott Smith. I bet I'd be into a genre like that. All speculation though.

Song: Dark Side of the Sun by Tori Amos
Band – no idea
Album – no idea
Genre – no idea
How many different ones are there?
I have to say Tori Amos because I love her. I am not that familiar with Kate Bush. I did buy one album of hers from the 70s or early 80s, I think and I was disappointed. I love her song – Wuthering Heights.

Song: Power in the Darkness – Tom Robinson Band
Band: Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Album: Depending on my mood either Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon or Stabbing Westward's 'Darkest Days'
Genre: Dark ambient – but there's not that many to choose from
BQ: Don't make me choose. Even though Tori's debt to Kate is obvious she has her own very distinct approach (and she's a lot nuttier). Kate is much more into her 'art' where as Tori is into music – I can't imagine the Kate Bush doing the astounding numbers of covers Tori has done. And that' reflected by their early careers: Kate discovered early teens by famous guitarist and 'hothoused'; Tori pays her dues in unknown bands.
I think Kate's body of work is more consistent overall but Tori's highest highs are higher than Kate's. At least that's what I think today.
