Just so you (and everyone else interested) know, I'll soon be compiling a "Beginner's Guide to The Divine Comedy", sometime in the next few weeks, other workload and life permitting (though in fairness, I have very little of the latter!)
I've already created one for Threshold and Balance of Power, and in case you haven't seen them they basically give an intro to the artiste, pick out selected tracks from each of their albums and let you decide whether or not you'd be into them, or if you already are, what albums are considered their best (and worst).
Like the squeaky-voiced teen said in "The Simpsons" --- "Keep watching the skis!"
