Mazzy Star - Magic or Mountebank?

the first one's really nice, but effortless in the sense that it doesn't really dwell on any one particular mood. just sort of skirts around a whole bunch of different shades in a fleeting sort of way. the second one zones in on slow, ethereal textures at times and really nails it.

btw, I luuuurve SHB, really really like STTIMS, & am pretty lukewarm on most of AMS w. the exception of a few really beautiful trax.
