Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coal, 4AD records etc,

[chris watton]

Just had the Cocteau Twins (Lullabies to Violaine 1+2) and This Mortal Coil (It'll end in tears) CD's come from Amazon. I remeber listening to these and other 4AD bands on John Peel many years ago, and never being able to find the albums. Now I have, they sound just as good as I remember on the radio! It's how I remembered 80's music, but it doesn't sound today like 80's music, it sounds just as fresh and creative as when they were first recorded, at least, to me. I bought a Delerium CD too (as I love the track 'Silence'), but all in all, the This Mortal Coil album sounds more fresh!

I love Amazon!

Brilliant stuff, 4AD was such a good label also brought us Bauhaus, Gus Gus, Dead Can Dance and The Pixies!

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or last Vegas. In my all time top 5 albums.

When I was 13 or so, this was my tippy-top favourite song:

Not to mention everything that Tanya Donelly's been involved in throughout her career from early Muses and Breeders stuff right through to her solo stuff these days.

I've been going through a bit of a nostalgic patch and have dug up loads of the old 4AD stuff on www.last.fm - select Listen, click tag and type in 4AD - brill

great site, but £4.50 per track! , just one 32 track double CD for the Cocteau Twins cost a little over £10 on Amazon!

I don't buy tracks through the site Just have a constant stream to the Stereo
