Darkwave in general

Could you put a label of "Avant Garde" to that sort of music? Does it suit with your taste? What you generally think about that?

Do you know of Dark Wave bands from Polandthat would be worth mentioning?

I would say that it's more Electronic than Avant Garde than anything else. Still, I would say that visitors to this section of the Forums would get more into it than those who go to Electronica considering it's more underground - darker and maybe with some connections to Experimental/Industrial. That's just my opinion.

Does it suit my taste? It does, actually. Some may be surprised, but I have had moments in getting into that sound and liking it.

Darkwave had it's roots in post-punk and spread out to include many other genres over the years including synthpop, neo-classical, industrial, ethereal wave and alternative rock. I see it more as an umbrella term to describe music of a dark and melancholic disposition rather than a genre with a distinctive sound. It could belong in multiple sections but I figure the avant garde/experimental forum wouldn't be a bad place.
