A playlist featuring the finest goth, electronica and dark pop music, featuring The Chameleons, Kælan Mikla, Hawkwind, PVA, Clark, Mandy, Indiana and more. The playlist begins with one of the most beautiful dark pop songs ever recorded, featuring the vocals of Elizabeth Frazer, formerly of The Cocteau Twins. There's more alt-pop courtesy of Bjork and Pet Shop Boys, interspersed with new tracks from the likes of PVA and Mandy, Indiana, and global experimental electronica, before classically gothic cuts from Iceland's Kælan Mikla and dark royalty Fields of the Nephilim. The playlist closes with The Chameleons seminal classic 'Second Skin' and Hawkwind's 'The Watcher' from 1973, with vocals from the legend Lemmy.
