   • 1997, "Ron Cecchini", Sunshine Blind...GOOD RIDDANCE! (on newsgroup alt.gothic)

     What everyone is pissed about is this infantile Eldritchian spewing. It's DARK HARVEST. It's *NOT* a Sisters tour, where Andy would be well within his rights to pick and choose whoever he wanted to open for him -- and none of us could argue. Dark Harvest is simply a festival that he is headlining.

   • 1998, "Michael Johnson", Random Reviews: Assorted Brit.goth combos (on newsgroup uk.people.gothic)

     ALF have been around, in assorted line-ups, for quite a while now. The latest version of the band probably represents the most radical change, because now there's a new vocalist/songwriter, Paul, which means that voice-wise, the old-style Eldritchian growl is OUT, and a far more classically rock'n'roll-style tenor is IN.

   • 2000, "Gothae Obscurum", Goth Will Eat Itself (on newsgroup alt.gothic)
