The net is full of individual playlists/ mixtapes from band fans or goth indie fans in general, in fact, I’ve only mentioned a few above. Also there’s the online radio sites that probably hold the whole music archive ready for you with a simple click.

Here is an ‘old’ sample Google search page to give you a flavour of it all. It’s good that people still remember and like Party Day. I have noticed the ‘branding’ ‘old-school’ - which to my mind means ‘originals’!  Which I like to think they were of course.

To quote a very old song title - ‘the band who wouldn’t die . . .’
