GARTEN KIRKHOF - CD LOST TAPES '88-'94

Popis - LOST TAPES '88-'94:
Garten Kirkhof was formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1988 - but the foundations lay far more back in Sacramento, California in 1980. At that time in musical history, there were amazing and magical things brewing. Bands that would later become revered and influential had just recently formed (Christian Death, Magazine, Joy Divison, Bauhaus...) and their music made a huge impact on a relatively small, but discerning group of people. Two of them being a couple of young guys in the US Air Force, who were disillusioned with their jobs, life and especially the repetitive, mindless, crap being played on most radio stations at that time. These two guys (Veto and Wayne) started to work together since the early eighties, but it was only in 1988, when they started to record first tracks under the name Garten Kirkhof, with singer Jeffrey. This CD compiles the earlier tracks of the project, heavily influenced by Joy Division, early Christian Death, Bauhaus, Modern English. File under: Cold wave / US Goth Rock / Death rock.
