    I got into the industrial, goth, EBM scene back in the 90’s and still believe that was one of the most exciting, different & creative periods of music evolution. I’m so stocked to have discovered CAD. I thought this scene was dead. Now I can get my dark fix every week. You guys do s as fabulous job. Thanks
