	ENTERTAINMENT: MUSIC, COMEBACK
		Taking their name from an old Simple Minds' song in 1979, the Cocteau Twins formed in Scotland as Robin Guthrie (guitar) and Will Heggie (bass.) Eventually Robin Guthrie's girlfriend, Elizabeth Fraser (vocals,) made the band a trio and the Cocteau Twins' sound was born.

	Cocteau Twins - Biography - AOL Music
		A group whose distinctly ethereal and gossamer sound virtually defined the enigmatic image of the record label 4AD, Cocteau Twins were founded in Grangemouth, Scotland, in 1979.
		In late 1983, ex-Drowning Craze bassist Simon Raymonde joined the band to record the EP The Spangle Maker; as time wore on, Raymonde became an increasingly essential component of Cocteau Twins, gradually assuming an active role as a writer, arranger, and producer.
		A burst of creativity followed, as the Twins issued three separate EPs -- Aikea-Guinea, Tiny Dynamine, and Echoes in a Shallow Bay -- in 1985, trailed a year later by the acoustic Victorialand album, the Love's Easy Tears EP, and The Moon and the Melodies, a collaborative effort with minimalist composer Harold Budd.

		So the Cocteau Twins are one of my favorite groups and a true inspiration for me when it comes to writing, but having gotten into them far too late, I never had occasion to see them play.
		I adore the polished and dreamy sound of the Twins recordings, but it would have been nice to have gotten something, at some point in their later career (after they quit all the drugs) that showcased their strength as a band, and not just their individual talents in the controlled studio setting.
		Scotland's Cocteau Twins were one of the most distinctive bands to emerge within the splintering rock world of the 1980s.

	EvilSponge: Treasure by Cocteau Twins
		In late 1983 Cocteau Twins again added a third member: this time, Simon Raymonde, a London scenester and former member of the band The Drowning Craze.
		This was the beginning of a burst of creative genius from Cocteau Twins, and the 8 releases they would crank out between 1984 and 1986 still stand, in my mind, as a testament to what can be done by sheer human willpower.
		I find that the Twins often revisit songs that are structured around the building of tension and it's eventual explosive release.

		On their first album, Scotland's Cocteau Twins add a borrowed drum synthesizer to vocals, bass and heavily treated guitar, producing atmospheric dirges with rich textures and little structure.

	seibuone :: 45RPM: Cocteau Twins Reform!
		The Cocteau Twins, for those unfamiliar, are a trio whose music largely served to define the term "ethereal," though they could occasionally surprise with a production sucker punch or two.
		This is also probably the most melodic one-song "snapshot" of the Twins' sound: while many Twins songs seem to drift forth out of your stereo like some kind of thick sonic fogbank, "Heaven Or Las Vegas" sounds kind of like an unusually aggressive ABBA single playing at about 41 RPM.
		This is one of those classic Twins tracks that seem to tiptoe quietly around your head before suddenly and dramatically erupting from a delicate whisper to a full-on volcanic roar.

		This was really the first album in which the Cocteau Twins as a band (...here comprising of Robin Guthrie, Elizabeth Fraser and Simon Raymonde) really started to emerge with their own sound and perspective.
		The sound of Cocteau Twins (and indeed, this album) is characterised by the integration of those layered guitars with those flowing and ethereal vocals.
		Fraser's amazing vocals are the most important factor in the Cocteaus sound as they are an instrument in themselves and when multi-tracked to provide counterpoints with the melody really elevate the songs into the realms of the fabulous.

		The Cocteau Twins are an amazing band fronted by a women named Liz Fraser with one of the most beautifully unusual voices I have ever heard.
		I've been interested in the Cocteau Twins since their debut album Garlands, and they were my favourite band for quite a while in the Treasure era, but I lost them a little bit after Tiny Dynamite / Echoes in a shallow bay.
		I've been happy with every Cocteau Twins release--the first I heard was Blue Bell Knoll, then I bought their back catalog and each new one as it came out.

		The Cocteau Twins (inventing the ethereal, ghostly sound at one end of the spectrum) is one of the ultimate shoegazer bands.
		This and twinlights are two CD EPs from the Twins which explore new directions while retaining the base Cocteau Twins sound.
		Otherness is not a normal Cocteau Twins release, it's a remix ep, and the remixes were done by Seefeel at that, which makes them a little, um, weird.

		If you've been listening to the Twins' other work, which has its own classic, unique sound, you'll definitely be shocked after hearing "Garlands." If the Cocteau Twins have a really dark album, this is definitely it, with its angry, menacing-sounding guitar and constant, dark beats via a drum-machine (which I really love, by the way).

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Blue Bell Knoll, Cocteau Twins, CD
		The first Cocteaus album to feature a full-band lineup since Treasure was also their first full studio record released in America, resulting from the group's stateside deal with Capitol.
		Much to longtime fans' surprise, the Twins in fact were much more content with Capitol than 4AD, hinting at their eventual full departure from that label.
		While Blue Bell Knoll has some striking moments that are pure Cocteaus at their best -- the opening title track is especially lovely with a keyboard loop leading into Fraser's ever-wonderful vocals, a light rhythm, and a great final Guthrie solo -- it's still the band's least noteworthy release since Garlands.

	Amazon.co.uk: Victorialand: Music: Cocteau Twins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Following a period where Cocteau Twins began to sound like themselves (rather than an Associates/Banshees sounding band) where they produced such great releases as Pearly Dewdrops Drops, Treasure, Aikea Guinea & Love's Easy Tears, they decided to change their sound (though the acoustic elements of songs like Orange-Appled gave a clue).
		Victorialand is one of the most ambient of Cocteau Twins' releases, alongside the follow-up 'The Moon & the Melodies' (released under the 'Budd-Fraser-Guthrie-Raymonde'-moniker)- it is blissedout more than chilled out, the latter term much more a lazy marketing tool for slightly mellow lift muzak.
		The remastering brings out this, probably the most subtle of Cocteau Twins releases & the cover by 23 Envelope is amazing (really, they ought to release these for the public to buy- I love the idea of someone having a Cocteau Twins cover for their room, but not necessarily knowing who they were!).

		Regarded as the house band during their lengthy residency at the eclectic British label 4AD, The Cocteau Twins’ blissful, enigmatic mood music is utterly distinctive and very special.
		The Cocteau’s fuzzy, ethereal swirls of synth and guitar, the unhurried rhythms and Fraser’s quite extraordinary singing make for music that’s unmistakably the group’s own.
		It doesn’t matter that her lyrics are often impossible to make out, or that her song titles are so insistently bizarre; the Cocteau’s rich sonic bath is reward enough.
