Sometimes your plans get derailed by the unexpected, but that’s a good thing – it reminds you that life is supposed to be interesting. Instead of finishing up a funky little article for JP Goth 2, Igor was drawn to a link in the Google Ad area offering some free Goth sounds from Anders Manga. Five minutes later Igor went off!

These downloads are tasty stuff. All four songs are very polished pieces giving a glimpse into the artist’s forthcoming album One Up for the Dying, which comes out in March, 2005. The songs have very smooth modern synth sounds, with the occaisional classic darkwave ripped in for good measure.

From Anders Manga’s Web site:

“One Up for the Dying” marks Anders Manga’s first ambitious solo release since the demise of The Dogwoods in 1999. As one reviewer explained, “Anders Manga is a Dance in the Twilight Zone… the songs are melodic and energetic… excellent darkwave”.

And how does Igor feel about this?

Igor could dance to this (well Igor can’t dance, but he would valiantly shamble across the floor). Igor could drink to this (anything from Chu-hi to Jinro, maybe a shot of whiskey even). Igor could drive to this. Yep, Igor is buzzcocked and loves it!
