I got blood some months back, after falling in love with It'll End In Tears years ago, then discovering Filigree and Shadow and finding the beauty in that maze of lushness. Blood is no exception, it's the most different of the three This Mortal Coil records, much more consistent in mood and much more drenched with strings. But this record takes you on a journey to another place, to places so beautiful, the tracks on this record blend so wonderfully and are so perfect. Those strings on "the lacemaker" grab me each time. When you get to "you and your sister" it blends so well into "nature's way" and those strings and that voice . . .the comes "i come and stand at every door" one of the best tracks, sung by the ghost of a child from Hiroshima (Hiroshima Mon Amour). Then another amazing track "bitter" that goes on with it's dramatic stings. "help me lift you up" is stunning beyond stunning. I adore "til i gain control again" and "dreams are like water" which is such a perfect ending to three perfect records. I wish that there would be another This Mortal Coil record, but these are so precious, it seems that they can almost be enough. Yes, there is no "song to the siren" on Blood, but what Blood does offer is simply stunning, inovative, gorgeous, dreamy, and unique music. It will take you away, let it take you away. Ah . . .This Mortal Coil (sixteen days without sun, gathering dust the band played on again)
