    • 1997, Ron Cecchini, “Sunshine Blind...GOOD RIDDANCE!”, in alt.gothic (Usenet):
      What everyone is pissed about is this infantile Eldritchian spewing. It's DARK HARVEST. It's *NOT* a Sisters tour, where Andy would be well within his rights to pick and choose whoever he wanted to open for him -- and none of us could argue. Dark Harvest is simply a festival that he is headlining.
    • 1998, Michael Johnson, “Random Reviews: Assorted Brit.goth combos”, in uk.people.gothic (Usenet):
      ALF have been around, in assorted line-ups, for quite a while now. The latest version of the band probably represents the most radical change, because now there's a new vocalist/songwriter, Paul, which means that voice-wise, the old-style Eldritchian growl is OUT, and a far more classically rock'n'roll-style tenor is IN.
