Info:	“Goth clubs come and go, as we know, and not many of them last long enough to be remembered by anyone other than the people who regularly attended them. Some, though, transcend the boundaries of time and space and become established symbols, icons of an era and well known by everyone in the scene, whether they have even actually been to those places or not. Pagan Love Songs is certainly one of these clubs; in the 10 years it's been around it has become synonymous of the German Goth scene (and I mean proper Goth, with a capital G; you know, where music matters more than dressing up in the prescribed uniform of the day and pretending to be on a fashion show), a beacon of hope in a sea of repetitive bleeps and self-obsession...” (Daniele Tartaglia / Vendemmian) On August 27th 1999 the inaugural PAGAN LOVE SONGS-party took place in the legendary halls of the Zwischenfall-club in Bochum, Germany, thereby marking the kick off for one of the most popular and influential Old School Goth-events worldwide. On August 29th 2009, ten years later, PAGAN LOVE SONGS will not only celebrate its 10th anniversary, but also the release of the second volume of the highly praised "Pagan Love Songs - Antitainment Compilation" series. The first volume, released in 2004, is completely sold out and was being labeled the "Compilation of the year" immediately after its release. Once again the PAGAN LOVE SONGS-founders and DJ-brothers R.a.l.f and Thomas Thyssen compiled a packed double-CD set with 36 tracks and nearly 160 minutes of the finest in Gothic Rock, Post Punk, Death Rock and Minimal Wave music. The breathtaking artwork of the compilation was again designed – like the first volume – by DISTURBANITY, a unique German artist who has also been working for FLIEHENDE STÜRME, FRANK THE BAPTIST etc. in the past. PAGAN LOVE SONGS Antitainment Compilation Vol. 2 features exclusive tracks or mixes by e.g. THE EDEN HOUSE, THE SHALLOW GRAVES, JOY/DISASTER, IKON or GROOVING IN GREEN and forgotten vinyl treasures like THE SCREAMING MARIONETTES; EVERY NEW DEAD GHOST’s first 7’’, CANCER BARRACK or NEUE DEUTSCHE WELLE-gem LICHTBLICK are available on CD for the first time. Thyssen Bros. incorporated even more rarities like e.g. SHOCK THERAPY, IAN BODDY, ARNAUD LAZLAUD, LOVE LIKE BLOOD; THIS BURNING EFFIGY or FOR AGAINST on the tracklist, and bands like SOLEMN NOVENA, FANGS ON FUR, FRUSTRATION or THE EXPLODING BOY give a taste of current  musical vibes, coining new standards for a future avantgarde.
