Best 100 darkwave releases

Darkwave is a music genre that originated in the early 1980s. It is typically characterized by its moody, introspective, and often melancholic sound, as well as its use of electronic instruments, such as synthesizers and drum machines. Darkwave emerged as a subgenre of new wave, but it has also been influenced by gothic rock, post-punk, and industrial music. The lyrics of darkwave songs often deal with themes of alienation, despair, and existentialism. Some notable darkwave artists include Clan of Xymox, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, and The Cure.
