This Mortal Coil is not a band, it consists of musicians from different bands 
on the 4A.D. label.  There's three albums, each by a different collection of 
artists:  "It"ll end in tears", "Filigree and Shadow", and "Blood".  The music
varies quite a bit, could best be described as dreamy, haunting, ethereal, 
beautiful, sad.

As to a quintessential release, there isn't one!  Get them all!!  I must
confess to a partiality to "Filigree and Shadow", with "Blood" a close
second.  They are all *long* albums.  I have the "F&S" and "Blood" CDs here 
with me and they both clock in at over 70 minutes.

Also, I understand there will be no future TMC projects.  Anyone know this for
sure ?
