4AD Further Listening / Dead Can Dance

I'm going to halt the 4AD releases at 2007 as most of the 2008 releases are readily available on other fine blogs, plus I hope that you will support the 4AD artists... new and old. For the next few days, I'll post some links to a few boots, demos, etc. for key 4AD artists, like Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, His Name is Alive and The Pixies. Enjoy!
