Yeah! Among My Swan, that's the other one we have besides She Hangs Brightly. It is excellent.

So Tonight That I Might See is a masterpiece. Their final album ('96) Among My Swan is nearly as good and has several tunes that rank among their best. Haven't heard much from She Hangs Brightly or Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions (with the drummer from My Bloody Valentine!) but I'm going to look for those ASAP. Fortunately (unfortunately?) Mazzy Star stuff is generally easy to find used. Brilliant group and underappreciated. Not entirely unsurprising their catalog is so small though--I'm not sure they had much more territory left to mine after their last album...much like UT.

I like She Hangs Brightly the most.All of their records were good though,sad they only did 3.Bavarian Fruit Bread is a nice one too,especially the two songs with Bert Jansch on guitar.

Trivia:Hope Sandoval is related to Elvis Presley

We have She Hangs Brightly and another one. My wife was more into them than me but good stuff overall. Hope Sandoval's voice is beautiful.

Wow that brings back memories!!! Just went to Rhapsody and played it again. It's probably been at least ten years since I last heard that song. Sounds just as good today as it did during my teenage years and still manages to tugs at the heart. Gorgeous tune.

When I was in High School, I use to cry myself to sleep listening to "Fade Into You", every time a girl broke my heart. To be honest with you, that is their only song of which I am familar.

Not Mazzy Star, but Bohemian Fruitbread (or whatever it's called...it's late...) is one of my favorite albums ever.
