Deirdre Rutkowski is performing with her brilliant voice the classic and excellent track by Gene Clark 'With Tomorrow' (originally included in his second solo album "White Light"). The song is included in This Mortal Coil's double album "Blood" that was the final LP in the project's history and was released in 1991.

This Mortal Coil was a gothic dream pop supergroup led by Ivo Watts-Russell, founder of the British record label 4AD. Although Watts-Russell and John Fryer were technically the only two official members, the band's recorded output featured a large rotating cast of supporting artists, many of whom were signed to, or otherwise associated with, 4AD. About half of the songs released were cover versions, often of 1960s and 1970s psychedelic and folk acts, which displayed those two genres' place in the history and formation of dream pop. On each of the band's three LPs, at least one song would also be a cover of a 4AD artist, and most of the original songs were instrumentals.

Quoting the 4AD website:

"This Mortal Coil was not a band, but a unique collaboration of musicians recording in various permutations, the brainchild of 4AD kingpin Ivo Watts-Russell. The idea was to allow artists the creative freedom to record material outside of the realm of what was expected of them; it also created the opportunity for innovative cover versions of songs personal to Ivo".

The name 'This Mortal Coil' is taken from Shakespeare's Hamlet.
