laura, i have to thank you for the cruxshadows rec. i grew up on 80s goth, new wave, belgian new beat, & the beginnings of darkwave. (i was a HUGE clan of xymox fan.) & recently, i've been into a lot of electrowave...& italo disco because of the vocal similarities. some of those terms may be lost on you, but cruxshadows remind me a lot of what was coming out on antler records in the mid to late 80s. i've just listened to the samples of tracks from ethernaut & i'm very, very pleasantly surprised. i need it louder & in higher quality. it's like all the loveliness of the strong-male-vocal progressive house from a couple of years ago...stripped of the club posturing & filtered through something really, really familiar. what else can you recommend? (roland P-909 kickdrum & synthy sounds are especially prized.)
