Review

There's no shortage of melodramatic goth music out there, but that doesn't prevent Soil and Eclipse from adding to the pile. Meridian, the band's sophomore effort, sees Jay Tye and partner G.W. Childs approaching goth from the electro perspective; the result is a well-sequenced keyboard- and drum-machine-based musical attack that, unfortunately, is weakened by Tye's David Gahan-meets-Andrea Bocelli vocals. Weakened? Make that mortally wounded. The cheese gauge is well within the red on tracks such as "Piano Song" and "Divinity." But when Tye sticks to the Depeche Mode side of things, you begin to appreciate his vocal training. "The Thief of Always," helped along by plucked strings and a crisp beat, features a mostly restrained vocal effort and "Exile," though it wallows in the '80s vibe of the Thompson Twins, isn't a bad demonstration of Tye's non-wince-inducing range. Sensitive goth for sensitive souls. --Steve Landau
