S.o.t.D. - Acid Bitter and Sad – This Mortal Coil

Acid Bitter and Sad – This Mortal Coil

Off of Lonely Is An Eyesore.

S.o.t.D. - Sixteen Days / Gathering Dust – This Mortal Coil

Sixteen Days / Gathering Dust – This Mortal Coil

Originally 2 Modern English songs that they would close out their shows with. Ivo Watts-Russell brought together M.E.’s Gary McDowell on guitar and Michael Conroy on bass, Colourbox’ Martyn Young on keyboards, Cocteau Twins’ Elisabeth Fraser on vocals and Robin Guthrie on guitar and Cindytalk’s Gordon Sharp on vocals, to record this cover.

S.o.t.D. - Song To The Siren – This Mortal Coil

Song To The Siren – This Mortal Coil

Oh mister Watts-Russell, won’t you please consider getting some musicians you dig into a studio once more and playing conductor? Pretty please?

S.o.t.D. - Come Here My Love – This Mortal Coil

Come Here My Love – This Mortal Coil

Cover of a Van Morrison song. All three TMC albums are sparkling jewels.

S.o.t.D. – (Nothing But) Blood – This Mortal Coil

(Nothing But) Blood – This Mortal Coil

My CD copy of the album Blood has a big skip right at the start of this song, and it really won’t play at all. Major bummer. I always mean to buy another copy or find a friend with it so I can copy that one track. The thought popped into my head to see if it was on YouTube, and lo and behold.... Listened to it a few times to make up for lost time. Hard to say what song of TMC’s I like the most, but this one ranks up there.

S.o.t.D. - Waves Become Wings - This Mortal Coil

Waves Become Wings - This Mortal Coil

Amazing piece of music with visuals taken from an amazing movie, Baraka.

S.o.t.D. – Ivy and Neet – This Mortal Coil

Ivy and Neet – This Mortal Coil

All three T.M.C albums are epic, but this track is I think possibly my favourite off all of them. Hard to say for sure though. This track is (I believe) pretty much just Simon Raymonde from the Cocteau Twins.

S.o.t.D. – Dagger – The Hope Blister

Dagger – The Hope Blister

Ivo Watts-Russell’s project after This Mortal Coil. If I had to put together a play list of music that would be the last things I ever hear, this song would make an appearance.
