Product Details

Elizabeth Fraser's voice remains one of the most singular instruments in recorded music, capable of conjuring emotion entirely independent of language itself. This collection traces the Cocteau Twins from their early post-punk edges through the lush, billowing dream-pop they essentially invented, capturing a band that influenced generations of shoegaze, indie, and ambient artists without ever quite fitting any category.

U.S. vinyl LP pressing. Stars And Topsoil, a Collection (1982-1990) was the first 'best of' retrospective to span the entire period Scotland's ethereal alternative trio recorded for 4AD. Featured are tracks from their acclaimed albums as well as choice tunes from select singles. A perfect introduction to what is generally considered their best era.
