Was a fan of the gothy chamber music era-- especially that As one Aflame laid bare desire album, and even seened 'em live in support of that disk. One of my favorite shows ever.

Haven't kept up, and think they've gone more "rock"--anyway know what they sound like? They are playin' a show, and a cheap show 7 clams(!), down Ithaca way...wonder if they are still worthy or just junk now. Should downlard somestufss.

They sound like shit. Shitty shit at that!

I'd have expected them to turn synth-goth by now. They had some promise as a Dead Can Dance clone of sorts, but I started questioning it around Halo Star even.

They were pretentious and over-artsy, but musically had their shit together at the time. I should just check it out. Synth goth--well let's see if it's good. Rather good synth goth, than run of the mill rock. The world needs no more bauhaus clones.

When I saw 'em live they had strings and if I recall--flute (?).

Fixed. The problem with most nowadays gothrock (at least to me) is that it's either too crisp/clean/dancey, or too contrivedly dirty. There's very little in the way of honest, slightly shambling music that's still pretentious enough to contemplate a candle to.
