The first appearance of the all-Merritt macabre
synthpop that is The Gothic Archies was the
track 'The Abandoned Castle of My Soul' on a
Harriet Records compilation called The Long
Secret in 1995. Looming in the Gloom
was released on the Hello Recordings CD of
the month club (run by 'They Might be Giants')
in March of 1996. The third track "The Dead Only
Quickly' was later transformed into a 6ths' track
sung by Neil Hannon only after his own band (The
Divine Comedy) covered it and released it as a
b-side. The last track is the original mix of
'City of the Damned'.
