Sex Gang Children - Medea

The second (third including Blind) album Medea by Sex Gang Children released in 1993 is widely praised as a consistent, high-energy, and moody compilation of the band's work, often described as a "non-stop," "flawless" album. It features a mix of intense gothic rock and post-punk, a classic alongside Song and Legend, from ten years prior, with notable, atmospheric tracks like "Barbarossa" and the title track, making it a favourite for many fans. The album is described as having a dark, serious, and rocking, yet atmospheric, sound with notable, moody synth elements. Unlike some of their more "random" releases, Medea is noted for its cohesion, featuring strong, high-tempo tracks alongside more atmospheric ones. It is highly regarded for being a, "inventive and original" display of early 80s gothic/positive punk. Released during the second wave of gothic-industrial music, this album combined both hauntingly dark keyboards and traditional rock instrumentation that defined this era of post-punk!
