Various Artists
Doctor Death's Volume V - Hearts Lust In Limbo
1991 C'est La Mort

Rounding off the triad with Volume V of the illustrious C'est La Mort Doctor Death’s compilations. It’s seriously hard to pick one of the 5 because each has a few standout songs and some non-album offerings. Not a bad one on here, even the goofy “Like Skippy” by the Peddlers is palatable. If anyone out there has the Fear of Blue album and would be willing to share, I’ve been looking for it for years. 

A Special tip of the hat to Woodrow for his outstanding label and its many brilliant releases… RIP

Judgement Of Paris ‎– Conversion

Judgement Of Paris
Conversion
1992 C'est La Mort

Taking their name from the story in Greek mythology, this Minneapolis group led by Christian Erickson earned the label “trance-pop pioneers”. They easily could have been on the 4AD roster and not just because they used a dulcimer. Medieval instruments, rolling tribal beats, layered fretless bass and stark, mood-inducing sequences complimenting Christian’s soothing baritone. Absolutely one of my most treasured albums that gets played weekly. We were rewarded with two albums and a couple tracks on the Doctor Death series before they called it quits in 1994.
