Trawling through Filigree And Shadow. Meniscus and Ivy And Neet are superb. The latter i recognize from being used in countless tv dramas etc

got an album of mortal coil when it came out.dont know where it went and only remember 3 including a 12" i also bought. so just top 2

song to siren sixteen days (or something)

1. SONG TO THE SIREN
2. ANOTHER DAY
3. FYT
4. HOLOCAUST
5. that instrumental one off 1st album with Robin & Simon

The Last Ray off the first album is the one with Simon and Robin. Fond Affections and the spooky one with Lisa Gerrard are good on that album also. Didn't get round to hearing Blood and Filigree And Shadow albums till just a few years ago which was odd as i bought the first album and liked it when it came out in 1984.

super special extra credit for their exquisite cover of the Rain Parade's lovely Carolyn's Song.
