Goth EtherealThere is a sub-branch of goth music which features ethereal female vocals. Here are my favourites in this sub-genre.
Love Spiral Downwards - Idylls
Love Spiral Downwards - Ardor
Chandeen - Spacerider: Love at first sight
Chandeen - Jutland
The first two Love Spiral Downwards albums are, in my opinion, the best that they have ever created, subsequently, their later work veered off towards a languid lounge-cum-jazz direction. Abysmal really. Love Spiral Downwards eventually renamed itself as Love Spirals.
Chandeen has broken up. One of the vocalist has contributed vocals to a recent In Strict Confidence release.
There are five great collections featuring gothic ethereal vocals titled:Heavenly Voices Volume 1
Heavenly Voices Volume 2
Heavenly Voices Volume 3
Heavenly Voices Volume 4
The Best of Heavenly Voices
The Heavenly Voices series is a good collection if one were to want to explore the ethereal goth music scene.
No Irish folk please.

Holy
