Away - The Bolshoi
[link] Really great song. From 1987 (I think; it was also called A Way in some versions). Trevor Tanner's vocal (and its production) are goth-pop. The simple chord progression really sounds like it should be more complicated (I just learned it on the uke) but what makes it complex is the shifting bass line which hits unconventional on-root notes (this is a great technique of a lot of post-punk). We have here most of the goth of say The Sisters of Mercy but in a cleaner, more poppy package.
