i just bought this, and it's fucking awesome, especially the songs with Nick Cave (everything he touches, artistically, turns to gold though.). Anita Lane fans: where should i go from here?

It's the only one I've heard, so no help pointing to others, but I agree it is a damn fine record.

RIYL? Sorry to say, I've never heard of Anita Lane.

Anita Lane was, in essence, the Nico of the eighties London/Berlin post-punk scene. She was Nick Cave's muse for a while, and they were an on and off couple for a number of years.

This record is basically just arty post-punk, and is very very good.

RIYL: The Birthday Party, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Rebecca Moore

After your description, it dawned on me who she is. Definitely sounds like something I would like. Thank you, Mike!
