This is an abomination onto the Lord. Tim Buckley, yes Sheila Chandra, yes. This Mortal Coil, yes. Brian Ferry soundling even more "lounge-singer" than usual? No f'ing way.  |

Yep, and slowly mutating into a crooner on the strength of this one; Kate Moss has never looked so good mind

This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren, "soft version", surely not the same thing .... |

I'm with you snowcat. I love the lush sound of this song and the entire album. Ferry's like a painter, with every stroke he's adding new color...layer upon layer of brilliant musicianship...when he's finished he's created a work of art. Some might find it overproduced, but I wouldn't change a thing. I bet this sounds amazing on a high-end stereo.
I totally agree with every word ! Not overproduced,,just to perfection ! And yes it does..in 5.1,,he's in a league of his own ! |

I really love this version. I listened to the album the other day and thought it was absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me a lot of those shiny smooth sounds from the days of Avalon.

I like Bryan better when he doesn't take himself so seriously ("hard rain's gonna fall" for instance) but I can't give most of his other stuff less than a quite likeable. Maybe never higher, but not lower either.
