Their
Prisoners of Love compilation covers their career from 1985 up until 2003. If you don't have it already it's a great compilation and covers all aspects of their sound.
If you're looking for a single album
Painful is a great album to start off with. It's fairly typical of their sound and the running time isn't too long, so it's fairly easy to get into.

It's a very mellow album. I suppose the best way to get into it would be to just close off any distractions and focus on the introspective nature of the album, perhaps when you are in a reflective or downbeat mood, if that makes any sense. The album clicked with me on a train journey one day by myself, it's a very solitary album.
