"King Crimson Court of the Crimson King, beautiful... The reason why I picked this right now was because it was standing on a shelf and this cover art is just shouting at me. I really do love the track Epitaph, which is here, and it's been sort of with me ever since I was a child."

Dan Lacksman
Dan Lacksman ·1973
"Dan Laxman is a Belgian composer. This album is from the mid-70s, I believe, electro-acoustic and also synthesizers in a beautiful harmony. It's very easy and pleasing on the ear."

It'll End in Tears
This Mortal Coil ·1984
"I was actually looking for the album called Blood, which is an album that children and I profoundly love that we listen to in our teens... We got the sort of the second favorite This Mortal Coil album, this one, which also features the immaculate song 'To Desire' as sung by Liz Frasier of Cocteau Twins. And I almost tear up thinking of it."
