It's amazing someone else hasn't created a project like This Mortal Coil. For those that don't know the head of 4AD records created a project band that covered songs(of various genres from the 60's,70's and 80's) but melded them through a classical, darkwave, dream pop filter. The brilliance of the project was how disperate the source material was, whether it was The Byrds, Talking Heads, Emmylou Harris, Tim Buckley or Brian Eno it all worked together. Even the musicians changed on each album(heavily 4AD supported but artists outside the label were welcome too)but the albums held together as if it were all written by the same band. The project spanned 3 albums that created something new, and provided a wealth incredible of source material to track back to as well.
