No:478 COCTEAU TWINS - HEAVEN OR LAS VEGAS (1990)Elizabeth Fraser was and is one the most hypnotic singers I have ever listened to. She and her band set the benchmark for many of the acts on the brilliant 4AD record label; that strange mystique and intense mood music was a staple for many acts to follow. This is my personal favourite of theirs. It contains the most cohesive set of songs, the melodies are catchier than ever before, and there's a warmth that invites you into Ms. Fraser's mysterious world. "Heaven Or Las Vegas"

This was the album that finally made me a Cocteau Twins fan. Just please tell me that there are more Cocteau Twins albums further along the countdown.

Love CT Jeff. This is a great cd. I got into them when their ep "Blue Bell Knoll" came out in '88 & fell in love.
Flower, I was the one who turned you onto CT, lol!

It was more than a day ago certainly. You made several Sigur Ros posts FP & it was the first one that I told you about CT, I'm sure of it. That was at least 2-3 days ago.
