Does the dance floor EVER get more Gothic than MEPHISTO WALZ? I dare say, "No, it does not". Only 2 tracks, and yet, this EP is indispensable for any trellis-climbing dance music enthusiast. Every Gothic dance dj will consider these tracks as playlist magnets! Title track, "Nightingale" will draw your feet away from tempting smiles and onto the dance floor recently vacated by fans of Lords of Acid, and Marilyn Manson. Swirly skirts and transparent lace cuffs will befriend the swelling romance of Mephisto Walz. Soon, the percussive beats will draw more damned souls out to join you. "Witches Gold" opens (welcomingly) in retro, like any familiar songs by The Smiths. As this song progresses, vocals linger in a style reminiscent to me of Rozz Williams from the better days of Christian Death. Definitely rooted in the finer charms of old school Gothic dance elements, NIGHTINGALE delivers every bit the fullness of satisfaction.
