Review by JeanMarcDekesel Mar 09, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)

referencing It'll End In Tears, CD, Album, CAD 411 CD

Writing about This Mortal Coil has something almost sacred, as if you had to describe the Mona Lisa. This Mortal Coil is not a band, but a collaboration of artists around 4AD producer Ivo Watts-Russell that seemed to have as only objective: create beauty built for eternity. And so they did, on three albums, "It’ll End In Tears" being the first one. The voices of Elisabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins) and Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance) are those from sirens, emphasizing the overall fatal beauty this album exhales. "Fyt" by the Wolfgang Press is visionary ambient. Even the artwork is a work of art (you should buy the vinyl alone for that). This is unearthly beauty that will strike you with disbelief.
