Product Details

Liz Fraser's voice remains one of the most singular instruments in recorded music, capable of conveying profound emotion in syllables that existed somewhere between language and pure sound. The Cocteau Twins built their world almost entirely on 4AD, the London label that also nurtured Dead Can Dance and This Mortal Coil, and that shared aesthetic context tells you everything about the atmosphere they helped define throughout the 1980s.

The Scottish Eclectics Get Their Due on This First and Only Anthology Disc. The Inherent Trio of Liz Fraser, Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde Were Perhaps the Most Unusual of Bands. The Sung Lyrics Were Many Times Unintelligible But a Penchant for Melody Won Listeners Hearts Over. Their Artistic Expression Was Exclusively Vented in Their Music, Not to the Press Or Others. Not for Everyone, But Richly Rewarding If You're Willing to Explore.
