wow... on vinyl??? damn. I have all of those songs like 3 times over on every release and every bootleg ever released, but that looks so nice.

I discovered them by picking up some old records from a thrift store in NY when i was in high school along with some old Wire and David Bowie records for like 99 cent. I immediately fell in love and have been a fanatic for them ever since. It'd be fitting for me to complete my collection with more vinyl.

i hate when people find ways to get into my wallet. mad bawl drool3

Change it one more time..

To this day I still love to light a candle turn off all the lights and listen to Victorialand. That album still touches my heart.

Im looking forward to this.

I think anyone who's owned that album has done the same. My favorite is to play that album while sitting in a bath with candels and just completely relax in the emotional journey that they take you on.

Treasure IMO is their best album. The drum patterns on that album is hardcore. Followed by Heaven and Las Vegas, Blue Bell Knoll, and Victorialand.

Good collection, but I much prefer listening to the more expansive Lullabies to Violaine Vols. 1 & 2 if I have the time. It must sound heavenly on remastered vinyl.
