Sinister: need help with b+s recommendations

[Liqin Lu]

hi sinister ppl! hope ur all good. i'm asking u guys a favor. i need help
choosing b+s CDs to get someone into b+s. she's this lovely lovely person
who also happens to be my italian teacher. she only has 'boy with the arab
strap' and she admitted that she's not really into b+s. she says the songs
r so sad that every time she listens to them she tries to kill herself,
and that 'they r like...the smiths gone wrong.' well, true that b+s songs
r sometimes really depressing, but they r more than sadness, and thats
what i'm trying to show her. now she told me she likes more 'avantgard'
music, and i'm feeling a bit hopeless at this attemp. would any of u
consider b+s avantgard? maybe just a tiny bit? i am going to give it a try
anyway (this is the responsibility of being a b+s fan =) but i still need
help choosing CDs, which ones do u think would be more appropriate for a
potential b+s beginner like her? i have all the EPs and LPs except for
'tigermilk' (which i lent to one of my best friends and is on the way
home, but it'll not get here in time becuz it takes about 3 months for it
to get here from china and she only sent it last month...)

a BIG thank-u!
