Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth

Marco, you are so damn passionate, I couldn't resist. Hard to find the Alia Vox, but it's done. Just ordered that baby. I took a gander at your system, to see if you are a serious audiophool. lol.. Arkive Music said that they would refund my money if I don't cry. Eyes welling up?-- no refund.. Can't beat that deal...I'll keep you posted.

You should give immortal memory by Lisa Gerrard a listen. 4ad had many great bands-this mortal coil, lush, cocteau twins and still has a lot of new releases worth giving a spin.

dont forget this one has the first dcd takes in the garage,

Warren- Better get your hanky out! Try not to get any tears about those lovely Caravelle's you are going on about all the time.

Let us know if it moves you as much as it does me. It'd be one of my desert island CD's for sure.

For a medieval, acoustic antecedent you could check for online store samples of eponymous "Acantus." It's been awhile since I've listened to that one, but it makes for an interesting reference point.
