Talk:Collide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Collide isn't actually a industrial band. It is more understood as Darkwave or Ethereal music.

I hope you don't mind I did the change

[edit] Darkwave

Collide are one of the main examples of the modern darkwave bands, in the sense of darkwave as a musical style. Trip hop is (was?) a style that sounding very like some of the darkwave bands that preceded it. While Collide do use some elements of trip hop, they are primarily a mix of darkwave (including ethereal elements) and industrial rock.

They're not a darkwave band. Maybe they use a few elements, thats all. I don't agree that there is a modern music style with this term. For modern electronic music, the term electrogoth was created. http://lastfm.excite.co.jp/tag/electrogoth --Menorrhea 20:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

"I don't agree" = POV. They are a darkwave band, they're called a darkwave band and you clearly know nothing about the scene. Electrogoth is something different, more straightforward Goth with a dance music backing. Collide and the Cruxshadows are the two top modern darkwave bands as understood by anyone into the current scene. You keep calling a band formed two years before trip hop started trip hop. Collide have the vaguest similarity with Portishead and Massive Attack, they sound far more like Curve (in fact, Karin's currently working with Dean Garcia) who would probably have been called darkwave if they were German.

LOL, just looked at that lastfm page - so Covenant are the same kind of music as Das Ich now, eh? That has everything from dark EBM to futurepop to darkwave. Donnacha 22:34, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

In germany, Tokio Hotel is called "goth". Maybe we should add the band to the Gothic rock article... --Menorrhea 09:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discography

Somoeone needs to clean up the discography section, and create pages for the albums/demos that need them. A dicography section should have a simple list of recordings, not a list of recordings and each song on each one.68.255.230.71 19:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

You could either do it yourself or post it for Wikipedia:Cleanup. Donnacha 21:25, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

At the very least, it could use some organisation (separating demos, studio releases, etc). Considering how late it is here, I'm unable to do it right at this moment, but I intend to come back and give it a try when I can find the spare time. 75.2.39.19 03:41, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
