There's little more that compares with this magnificent band. Ever since i first heard Heaven or Las Vegas in 1990 (which many fans might consider a sell out album for it's popularity), I've been in love with this band. I have collected every LP, EP, and live recording I could get my hands on. I even spent the $60 bucks in 1995 on the box set.
Not only is their music incredibly relaxing through the etherial guitars of Robin Gutherie, and the beautiful unique voice of Elizabeth Frazier, it can be incredibly haunting both lyrically and music wise. It can also be extremely mysterious at times through Liz' poetry. I used to think that she spoke only in Galic, but since i've listened to the music for so long, coupled with the volumnuous internet, i've been able to decipher much of what she talks about as well.
You must at least look into this band. I'd recommend Four-Calendar Cafe for beginners and Victorialand for my favorite. Remember not to judge too quickly on the first listen, but give the music a few listens until you dismiss it as something that you don't like. It continues to be one of the most incredible bands I've ever heard.
