Two down, three to go...

[illusionofjoy]

Last week, about two hours after getting my paycheque, I went on a CD-buying binge online. Thus far in my mailbox:

Diamanda Galas - You Must Be Certain Of The Devil
Cocteau Twins - Treasure

Still waiting on...

kHz - Emotronic
The Smiths - Louder Than Bombs
Lords Of The New Church - [s/t]

I was amazed to find the Diamanda Galas album since it is very rare and has been out of print for years. It is an incredible listen - not poppy at all (as expected), but a true high point in avant-garde artistic endevours. I found out, reading the liner notes that this album is actually the third in a trilogy of albums, the whole entitled The Masque Of The Red Death. After one listen of You Must Be Certain Of The Devil I now find myself with this compulsion to find its two predecessors.
