i've been struggling for a way to describe it, and it might be the right description. it's the right synthesis, although the ragtime section at the end is kind of not very witch house. keep in mind this is from 2002. i was listening to large amounts of coil at the time, and coming out of a near obsession with skinny puppy. while a fundamentalist atheist, i've always had an interest in "goth music". sean had roots in more of the goth-metal stuff like manson...
this is the unmodified 2002 vocal mix. witch house?

my tags on this are sort of priceless, but it's the truth of it.
post-punk, goth, noise, synth pop, witch house, folk, industrial, noise rock, ragtime, Jazz Fusion,
i guess that's not completely out of left-field...

this is why i'm being careful to date everything as best as i can. there's legitimately a lot of novel ideas that are before their time hidden in my work. if i get it all properly dated, hopefully somebody with the right ear finds it....
