ASP (short for Alexander Frank Spreng) could be summed up as a German horror/Goth nerd with a backing band. His music may be an acquired taste, but I do love this cover of “Possession” by Sarah McLachlan.

Music for that Romance Mood
I love love love songs with deep male voices and dark romantic themes. I’ve never really been a Goth but I dabble in the music, and have been known to dress in all black. Mostly because I have trouble matching my clothes and wearing everything in one color is easier.
Arcana’s cover of “Enigma of the Absolute” by Dead Can Dance
If you ever played Fall From Heaven mod on Civ 4, this song plays for Runes of Kilmorph (dwarf/earth element religion.) Arcana is a Swedish band, Dead Can Dance an 80s Australian band, both sort of Gothy.
Lyrics written by Brendan Michael Perry / Gus Ferguson / James E. Pinker / Lisa Germaine Gerrard / Peter Lawrence Ulrich / Scott Rodger
Saloman hung down her head, laid bare her heart
For the world to see, she craved for intimacy
Through darkened doors her aspect veiled with indecision
Gazed out to sea, she craved lucidity
Cast adrift from past relationships in her life
Hoisted up the ideal, this was her saving grace
Sea’s of rage that once assailed her concern for the truth
Had passed her by and left her high and dry
In her savior’s arms…
Across the sea lies the fountain of renewal
Where you will see the whole cause of your loneliness
Can be measured in dreams that transcend all these lies
And I wish and I pray that there may come a day
For a savior’s arms…
