  3. This feels apt, moreso as I remember when airplay was banned in 1991 due to the UK involvement

    Earlier I heard the start of a cover of this outside the shut Debenhams on The Moor. A place close to where the crowd scene from was filmed in 1984

    I first thought but it's the track sung by

    "Water is my eye
    Most faithful mirror
    Fearless on my breath
    Teardrop on the fire..."

  4. The oldest band (started in 1979!) on this playlist is Scottish band Cocteau Twins are known for the ethereal vocals of Liz Fraser “Iceblink Luck” (youtu.be/L_Tj4bJ0VFw?si=mxfEM5) / NO STROBE (youtu.be/X9vhHFMgJLo?si=ZpUoKK) is from their highly influential 1990 album “Heaven or Las Vegas” (youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK). Their 1997 breakup coincided with the romantic breakup of Fraser and multi-instrumentalist & audio engineer Robin Guthrie.

  5. I am working in a cafe today, and the #cocteautwins have just started playing. I can't tell you how happy this has made me.

  6. I'm not sure when last I listened to Trance To The Sun, but someone on the socials posted their cover of When Mama Was Moth by #CocteauTwins yesterday and I'm heading down the rabbit hole today...

  7. On a happy note: re-discovering the Cocteau Twins. I had almost all their releases up to ”Victorialand” from 1986, so that was a nice reunion. However, for some reason, I never heard anything later that that.

    Good thing I missed the disappointing ”Blue Bell Knoll” though, but dang - going forward from ”Heaven or Las Vegas” is just such a pleasure.

    …and no doubt, Liz probably was full-time siren in a previous life 😄

  8. COCTEAU TWINS
    Heaven Or Las Vegas
    2022 UK 🇬🇧 Remastered reissue

    A little early morning bliss to start my day.

    When people recount near-death experiences, they cite how they were “floating towards a bright light”.

    If that ever happens to me, I’m assuming (or I at least HOPE) that the bright light is aurally accompanied by Elizabeth Fraser’s voice.

  9. hey you know what’s a great idea? a playlist that’s just all the songs from Blue Bell Knoll, Heaven or Las Vegas, and Four-Calendar Café in a row #CocteauTwins

  10. HAROLD BUDD, ELIZABETH FRASER, ROBIN GUTHRIE, SIMON RAYMONDE
    The Moon And The Melodies
    1986 Canada pressing

    I just spent over 6 hours doing Christmas shopping, and I’m like Ben Stiller in the movie Heavyweights after the fat kids lock him up.

    I am a broken man.

    So it’s time for an incredible #ambient #etheral album to help relax me.

    I’ve long been a fan of this record, and when I first discovered it, it was solely because I saw the name Elizabeth Fraser on it. A woman who’s voice is OTHERWORLDLY and who’s work I already loved from The Cocteau Twins.

    An incredible evening listen, and a record I’m glad to have an ‘86 pressing of, as all the reissues I’ve heard don’t sound very good.

    Beautiful album. A lovely, glacial hug.
    Serenity NOW.
