>>This weekend i'm listening to the wonderful 'This Mortal Coil'.<< Nuri, what a great surprise. You are the only person on this list I have seen mention tmc apart from myself. 'Blood' was mentioned as one of my 10 desert island disks way back in late September. >>The 3 This Mortal Coil releases are always in the music shops<< Well, here I'd have to disagree with you. I first heard tmc in Wales in 1988 or so and it took me almost 10 years to find it in a shop. I finally located it in Cob Records, a record shop in my home town that specialised in second-hand records. It used to call itself the biggest second hand record shop in the world but I doubt it really was. Anyway, I found 'Blood' there in the late 90s and it was so good to hear it again. I've looked for other stuff by them but without any luck until last Friday! I was out looking for Laura Nyro, without success, and came across 'Filigree and Shadow' instead. I continued the search for Laura in 8 or 9 other shops and had no luck there either. By that time I was too tired to go back to the shop with the tmc cd but I'll go on Monday. Emmylou Harris' ''til I gain control again' is the only song I had another version of and I'm wondering how the other originals sounded. Thanks very much for mentioning the details of the original versions. I never cared much for the Cocteaus but I have three CDs by Dead Can Dance and saw them live here 3 or 4 years ago. They used to live in Barcelona and I think they still keep a place here. mike in bcn np Buena Vista Social Club
