Siouxsie and the Banshees - Peepshow
Genre: Goth Rock/Post Punk
Format: Vinyl
Peepshow represents a lot of firsts for me. It was one of the first albums to get me really into vinyl as a format after I received it as a christmas present several years back. And the opening track, Peek-A-Boo, was one of the first goth songs I remember hearing- on the 80s station, before I even knew what goth music was or that SATB was a goth band! So it was kind of my gateway drug in two ways, lol. This album always makes me feel like I’m wandering through a haunted theatre and each room is showing a different film/song.
Other Siouxsie and the Banshees albums I own: Tinderbox (vinyl)

This Ascension - Tears in Rain
Genre: Goth Rock/Ethereal Wave
Format: Vinyl
This Ascension is my favorite band, a pretty obscure little ethereal group from the 90s California goth scene. Tears in Rain is their debut album and this vinyl copy is pretty rare! According to what's written on the insert, at least: only 600 pressings. Mine’s the 578th and I’m happy to own it and give it some spins. They only really found their sound after this album, of course, but it's still a worthy first outing! The pride and joy of my collection
Other This Ascension albums I own: Light and Shade (CD)

The Cure - Disintegration
Genre: Goth Rock
Format: Vinyl
One of the best albums by The Cure, if not THE best. Some might argue that it's the best goth album, period! Absolutely wonderful record worthy of its reputation, and I’m glad to have it in my collection. I still can't believe I got to see them live...
Other The Cure albums I own: Seventeen Seconds (vinyl)

Bauhaus - The Bela Sessions
Genre: Goth Rock/Post Punk/Dub
Format: Vinyl
My girlfriend Laura and I got this one on a visit to our local record store. It features Bela Lugosi’s Dead, the most iconic goth song of them all, as well as several early demo songs- and also came with a cool poster that we put up in our room!
Other Bauhaus albums I own: Burning From The Inside (vinyl)

Kate Bush - Experiment IV (Promotional Single)
Genre: Art Pop
Format: Vinyl
I also found this one at the record store. It's a cool little unique record to have in my collection- it was sent out to radio stations (and even has the station number written on it. It's not even close to where I live, lol) to promote the single, and Bush’s (at the time) upcoming singles compilation, The Whole Story. Both sides play the same song, Experiment IV. It’s one of the first Kate Bush songs I remember listening to, since my dad showed me the music video to freak me out when I was pretty young, so it's a bit full circle.
Other Kate Bush albums I own: Hounds of Love (vinyl)

Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels
Genre: Ethereal Wave
Format: Vinyl
A lovely album by one of my favorite bands! I believe my girlfriend bought this one if I recall, but our collections have kind of melded into each other once we moved in together, lol. (This applies to some of the other records on this page too)
Other Cocteau Twins albums I own: Victorialand (vinyl)

Castlevania Soundtracks (I & II)
Genre: Soundtrack
Format: Vinyl
A two-for-one, lol. These were both gifts and I cherish them, it's so cool to listen to music from my favorite series on vinyl, it has such a rich sound. The Castlevania II one is neat because the second side plays the Famicom version of the soundtrack! I’d love to get some of the other Castlevania vinyl releases someday, too.

Loreena McKennitt - The Book of Secrets
Genre: Celtic Fusion/World
Format: CD
I used to be obsessed with this album when I was very young and found my mom’s old copy as a kid. I would play it constantly while I played Warrior Cats in my room, or ...whatever it was I did back then. This isn't that same CD, this is an entirely different copy we got in a bin full of discs we were offered to take from around when we moved into our house, but it's still nice to have it in the collection since I still quite like McKennitt’s music.

Revolutionary Girl Utena Soundtrack Volume 1
Genre: Soundtrack
Format: CD
A birthday gift from my lovely girlfriend! In early 2023, right around when I first made this website, if I recall. The plastic protective sheet it comes in is a bit damaged (these things do happen, after all, especially getting things secondhand!) but it's perfect apart from that. It even comes with a little booklet with song lyrics, artwork and sheet music for the Sunlit Garden, a prominent part of the show’s soundtrack.

VOCALOIDs (Bruno & Clara, Megurine Luka V2, Lily V3)
Format: Software Installers
Do these even count as music...? Eh, whatever, I still kind of want to show them off and they are comprised entirely of spliced audio files, lol. I haven't actually used Vocaloid in ages but I own quite a lot of them. Despite that, most of them are digital-only, except for these three (four?). I’m especially happy with my copy of Luka, it just feels so cool to hold it in your hand.
