Today's Gothic scene is not your mother's Goth scene. Heck, its not even your older brother's Goth scene. The scene is now comprised of many, many vastly different styles. This is primarily because of the wide open arms the Gothic scene has always shown to those with an unusual creative vision.

So, for the new fan who doesn't know Bella Morte from Black Tape for a Blue Girl, The Cruxshadows from Coil, or Dead Poets Society from Dead Can Dance what are they to do? Visit the net? Sure. Download a couple of mp3s, check things out, sure. But what if the poor unfortunate soul doesn't have internet access? Beg, steal, or borrow from that one Goth friend?

HAVE NO FEAR! (heroic fanfare) SECTOR 19 comes to the rescue NOW with MOONLIGHT CORPORATION v.1.0.

MOONLIGHT CORPORATION v.1.0, a seventeen track compilation from SECTOR 19 is the perfect primer for anyone interested in sampling (pun intended) a little of all the wonderful ear-candy the goth / darkwave / EBM /industrial scene has to offer. Best yet, it truly shows off the best of the underground scene. Folks that are probably unknown to even the uber-Gothic except for perhaps Autocad.

Highlights on this gem include industrialized Mind Flux Funeral's "Soul and Substance", cyber-rapcore Sounds of Mass Production (SMP)'s Miltia Love, Electronic-Body-Music (EBM) of Autocad's "Dock to Dock 2001", and the misty Gothic fog of Jailbird's "Delirium Tremens".
