When I watch old films in which animals appear, I get sad because those animals are certainly dead now. And that certainly prompts my private epitaph and I have to say it out loud "That dog is dead. That cat is dead. That horse is dead..."
Interesting to see that Simon Raymonde, of Cocteau Twins/This Mortal Coil fame, is involved on some of the tracks here. (This sort of cross-pollination, I've noticed, is something characteristic of 4AD acts; what, with This Mortal Coil, and Robin Guthrie producing the first Lush album, and so on...).
I wouldn't call 4AD mopeycore; i.e., the Cocteau Twins are far too cheerful (in fact, it's puzzling that they get classified as "goth"; I mean, they don't even have "dead" in their name, like that other 4AD act from way back), and bands like Lush (and the various Breeders/Muses/&c.-related projects) are a bit too rawk.
Of course. They did have the greatest rock band _ever_ on their books at one stage...
Well, I wasn't actually thinking about them, though you definitely have a point. I was talking about The Pixies.

It's like a mopeycore Wu-Tang Clan!
