You didn't have to emerge from the shadows to join, many of us prefer the shadows. And you have excellent taste in music.
Welcome.

I was actually going to post "FINALLY!" but opted against it. I mean, it's about time we get someone new who likes Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance! I thought the world had forgotten about them!

Welcome! Decent taste in music... I'm more of a rivethead myself, but this is your intro, not mine.
Enjoy your stay!

Careful, there, it seems that appreciating Victorian style is liable to elicit some none-too-complimentary remarks around here. However, pay them no heed and certainly do not let such opinions interfere with your personal preferences.
On that note, welcome to the board, good sir! *hat tip*

I miss listening to the Cocteau Twins! Though I don't have a lot of their songs, my personal favorite is Alice and used to listen to it on late nights when I was back home... Now I remember... *searches Alice on youtube to play on eternal loop today*
