Fourwaycross ‎– Fill The Sky [LP] (1986, Motiv Communications)

Fourwaycross is a Goth band from 1985-1989. Their sound ranges from Joy Division to Red Temple Spirits to Moev, gothic rock to dark new wave. As with their self-titled debut, this is a very intriguing album that falls down every time they shift from one angle of their sound (the longform ambient seriousness of  "Climate And Weather" and "Trench") to another (the brittle, raw and funky post-punk of "Apologize" and "U.S.A.") to another (the dreamy pop of "So For You", "Unconcerned" and "Dream") to another (the straighter, gloomier post-punk of "Losing" and "Dirty News"). The opener's almost ten minutes long and spends its first four minutes on ambience and atmosphere. It's followed by a kickass jam that stops abruptly at the two minute mark. Which is followed by a very noisy post-punker with lotsa feedback and drumming overdubs. Which is followed by limp, safe pop. Which is followed by a slow, gnarly post-punker with flangers set to melt (rate/speed all the way down, regen/resonance all the way up). It's the sound of a band that doesn't want to stick to one genre or "sound" on an album, but, as with that debut, it's more than worth a listen. [SOURCE: RATE YOUR MUSIC]
