Well, about the only real similarity between This Mortal Coil and Talk Talk is the fact that their albums suck when ripped into mp3s. (as most continuous albums do--there are very few natural pauses on Filigree and Shadow)
I would say that they probably will grow on you however if you experience the albums as a linear whole, as they are obviously meant to be.
If you'd like to hear something that actually does bear some resemblance to late period Talk Talk however, I might suggest Rain Tree Crow, a beautiful album featuring David Sylvian and most of the ex-members of the 80s group Japan.
