Three albums by another favourite band: THIS MORTAL COIL

It'll End in Tears: voices, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, cello, violin, viola, accordion

Filigree and Shadow: voices, piano, sax, guitars, bass, cello, violin, viola

Blood: voices, (chamber) string arrangements, cello, violin, piano

Including synths, drum programming, and loops in a seamless mix with the acoustic instruments. Emotionally wrenching songs. Some of the most beautiful female voices in modern music, including Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins) and Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance) among others. Breathtaking string arrangements. (especially the last two albums) Check out Velvet Belly/The Jeweller or Tarantula for examples, or I Must Have Been Blind, a minimalist masterpiece held together by a golden thread of beautifully processed cello. (all from Filigree and Shadow)
