definitely. my list wasn't about lyrical content (ie death or devil or voodoo), it was more about songs that have a 'mysterious' feel. break the spell definitely fits the mold, as do others i didn't list, from the wierd almost non-song that is Continental Drift to a modern keef slow number like Thief in the Night. there's even touches of that feel on ABB in parts of Laugh,I Nearly Died and Back of My Hand, or Might as well get Juiced from B2B.
i just really like that kind of 'mood/flavor' epitomized by Dancin' w/Mr D and those others, even though i prefer the kickass rockers more. not many groups can get that (or any kind of) sense of 'mystery' vibe successfully recorded, though obviously the cure, peter gabriel, the cocteau twins and many of the early solo blues players like rob't johson and bukkha white did.
