Year: 1986

Albums: The Glove, Blue Sunshine

Bauhaus, Bela Lugosi's Dead 12"; Burning from the Inside

Our lovable, fluffy-haired misfits finally look old enough to creep into Hastings' only goth club, The Crypt. And what a time they have! A tribe is discovered, a new band crystallizes around Nick, takes on a very strange Latin name, and friendships deepen over the music they start making. Simon finds a comforting anonymity-and-belonging in the midst of the dry ice, the noise and the unholy, beautiful confusion.

Part 2 of 2

Year: 1985

Albums: Young Limbs & Numb Hymns, Batcave (compilation)

First and Last and Always, The Sisters of Mercy

Our daring young alternatives get deeply embroiled in the sounds of 80s goth, as The Sisters and the Batcave album mark the point of no return for our poor little lost ones, our willing victims of the terminally weird. Will they ever learn? Not likely, not if this week's breakdown of the almighty Andrew Eldritch's lyrical ouevre is anything to go by...

The practice of footbinding - binding the feet tightly in order to change their shape - appeared sometime before the 10th century in Imperial China among noble women. As time passed, it became popular among women of all classes, despite the pain and debility it caused. In this episode, we discuss the process and the reasons why women continued this practice into the 20th century.

Year: 1985

Albums: Young Limbs and Numb Hymns, Batcave (compilation)

First and Last and Always, The Sisters of Mercy

As our unlikely, small-town heroes reach the age of 16, they make a revelatory discovery: there's a goth club in town! Attempts to sneak in may be less than successful, but Nicky and Simon's discovery of a scene filled with misfits and marvels begins in earnest with their knowledge of The Crypt. Girls and booze also loom into view, with all the inevitable consequences...need I go on?

Justin and Ed have returned, spinning more amazing music from the underbelly of the music industry. Chapter 7 sees a bit of a change in the way that the music will be selected for each show, and we think it’s going to make The Arcane Machine a better experience for the fans. This month’s selection of tunes includes a little something for everyone: the bluesy industrial sound of Sister Machine Gun, classic goth from Siouxsie and the Banshees, experimental electronic from Download, and much, much more!

The Arcane Machine is a monthly show with supplemental content on Facebook, Twitter, and Discord throughout each month. If you like what you hear, please visit the artists’ pages linked below and buy some music!

Special thanks to Myla for the listener-request song at the end of the show.

Part 1 of 2

Year: 1984

AlbumsPornography, The Cure

Hyaena, Siouxsie and the Banshees

Waking Up to Goth - in Week 2, we find our alternative heroes turning on to goth and alternative music and culture in a big way. Though still young, the seeds of creativity and freedom are beginning to sprout. From the dark earth laid down by The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees, Simon and Nicky start to dream, still sitting behind school desks, of wider, stranger horizons...

Albums: Breaking Glass, Hazel O'Connor

Head Over Heels, Cocteau Twins

We join our brave young alternatives for the conclusion of their debut week. We've seen them narrowly escape injury at the disco at the end of the pier, and we've heard Nicky's paean to the inspirations of Breaking Glass, now check out Simon's exploration of what made Cocteau Twins so important to his life as a 14-year-old becalmed in the doldrums of the everyday world in small-town suburbia, England, in the early 1980s.

Part 1 of 2.

Year: 1983

Albums: Breaking Glass, Hazel O'Connor; Head Over Heels, Cocteau Twins

Week 1 introduces our alternative heroes. At the tender age of 14, they meet as one is escorted out of the disco at the end of the ramshackle seaside pier, after being threatened, as the other is on his way in, with two hungry-for-action sociapaths riding shotgun. After meeting, Nicky and Simon find they share a love of alternative music and culture, and take their first steps into a darker world of creativity, fascination and doom.

Episodes will be posted in 2 parts.

Nine women and two men were tried and executed for witchcraft in 1612 near Pendle in Lancashire. This was an unprecedented death toll for a single witch trial at the time. In this episode, we discuss witchcraft in England, and why these trials may have resulted in so many executions.
