The Raincoats - s/t poll

Now i feel like I'm overcompensating for leaving off "Fairytale in the Supermarket" in the last poll by including all these extra songs.

I feel like some of these choices are, of course. Of course Swell Maps comes after The Raincoats...

Going to have re-listen but I can confidently state, even at this stage, I won't be voting for "Mining Villages".

Ooooh. They made it a bit hard. Some of the instrumental tracks do feel like part of integrated suites, etc. Might end up falling back on a relatively poptastic early track.

Sleeping in a cave beats any kind of tree...
