Steve,
A difficult one for me because I got them all as they were released. I always like to go to the beginning and that would be "Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty"[love just typing that title], just to illustrate their approach to beauty.I also really enjoy "Pictorial Jackson Review" and that shows how they stretched into pop. 2 songs that are musts are "Primitive Painters"[with the Cocteau Twins], and "Ballad of the Band" and both of those are on "Stains on a decade", a good collection. "Ballad" shows off Lawrence's "Dylan" voice.
It is a long journey with splashes of jazz and even ambient guitars. But if you fall in love with Lawrence,as I did, you have a lot of ground to cover. After Felt there is Denim "Back in Denim" and Go Kart Mozart's "Tearing up the album Chart".These are lighter and frivolous ,but I would be lost without them.
