I use this track to acentuate my lucid dreaming sessions. And it works. I just got some interesting folding@home ideas. Gotta love those astral travels.
@shum65 Thank you for a response, you are kind! I was too quick with my comment to say that your videos are amazing! A fantastic effort of yours. I am a professional video-maker myself, although mostly animated commercials lately and some post-production.
Since we have at least music taste in common, maybe we could associate once for some fun project. Best, Ivan
@shum65 thanks, is a joy to find people with such good taste in music Happy new year to you n_n/ gracias es una felicidad encontrar a gente con tan buen gusto musical, feliz año para ti también

@shum65 Garlands has been one of my all time favorite CT albums, and I own all of them! :) I bought Garlands back in 83-84 when I was a very young lad!
The 80s were the last decade of great, truly MAJESTIC, DIVINE pop music. So promising those years and after that the gods abandoned us and we got crap music instead (hip-hop, techno, etc). Very strange: it seemed to coincide with the disapperance of VYNIL/ANALOG recording and the invasion of DIGITAL. DIGITAL KILLED THE MUSIC. 10101011 doesn't equal REAL, EMOTIVE ANALOG SOUND! Those of you that are getting emotional on hearing this music surely have heard it before in analog. That's cell memory!
@AnaKosta Hi There, I love the deep rich sounds of vinyl, still got all mine, I so understand what your saying,about the way the music business has changed today, at one time it was a really big deal to get to no1 in the charts, but now, who cares...?
their are many excellent bands today still, but sadly as far as the charts
go, you only need the one sound, no more is the totally individual
artists,with their own sounds and look, maybe they will return in time...?
Ahhhh man! You've done it again! Exceptional. One of the most powerful songs in my life and the quality listening to it and watching the video with headphones on is trancendental. Are you a god in disguise, shum65? Can he do it? Yes he can!!
why is this band not so recognized? I mean they have depth, acid guitars, they have some serious hipnotizing melodies, this leaves you with some sens of melancholy & despair, I mean lots of people could relate to this & actually love this band, how come this band is not like a bauhaus or a joy division or like the cure? I can see some sort of conection between them sounds...
@bloodzombite - I'm not sure why you think this. I, and many, many of my peers who are around 40 years of age absolutely feel that the Cocteaus are right up there with Bauhaus, Joy Division, the Cure, et al. I've never thought of them as a lesser known band by those who care about music of this genre. Perhaps the younger generation feels this way? That's a shame, if so.
Yeah that was a great time in my life, the music back then was a great way to escape the dreadful teenage life. the music now sucks hind teet compared to back then!!!!!!!!!!!
1988, vaction in jamaica with my dad, pocket full of cash, hedonism, two beautiful girls, first drink, night sky full of stars, walkman, cocteau twins this song, a whole bag of shrooms...........................never will forget...................STARS IN MY EYES STARS AT MY FEET... at least thats what went thru my head over and over and over..
I haven't heard this track for at least 15 years, still hits me deep inside, I guess I ought them, the cure, and bauhaus for those naive early years of my life when I began composing music. All my love and respect for those who inspired us and changed us forever.
Oh, and by the way, those videos you made of the Cocteaus are really, really good! It's rare find talents like yours these days. Keep doing it the way you've been doing it. Try to work in some Dead can dance, some of their really early stuff, that'd be way cool! have a good one!
Yeah, Bella Union was, or still is Robyn and Simon's record label post cocteau twins label.
That's pretty cool that you made conversation with Simon Raymonde! That almost adds an extra topping to the already splendid ice-cream sundae so to speak! The band 'Celebration' I mentioned isn't on the Bella Union Label, I was just throwing them out there because there are certain elements similar to Liz's voice, but they are one of the more modern-day good ones for sure.
Yeah, I have stumbled upon some rare ones here and there. It's always a nice little find when you do happen to catch one of their more obscure videos. There was a band, "Lift to Experience" that put out a couple albums under Bella Union, pretty good. They were from Denton, TX. Worth checking out if you haven't already. The band Celebration is one of my new favorites for the past couple years now, also very, very good too.
Did the cocteau twins make any actual videos for Garlands? I've always wondered that, but guess I would've found out about it by now, such a great album!!
Great great great job Shum65 -- I will send you some music in a few weeks from my band and hope that you will like it to say thanks for this great post!

Shum,
This was the first Cocteau song I ever heard. I was a senior in high school,on
the campus with this in my "Walkman". That same year I went to see U2 open for
J. Geils Band. I was only interested in U2. Can you believe when U2 opened the
audience actually booed! So having booed for U2 at the time can you imagine
how an American audience would have received the post punk brilliance of Cocteau 1982. Answer, not well my friend! What a different world we live in
today!

@blainebill39 Hi Blaine, and what a first song to hear by them,
just love that menacing guitar as it aches throughout the song,
gives me goosebumps still, Wow U2 getting booed, its funny

really gained a loyal following in the USA, and south America too.
They all sure know great music when they hear it my friend.....!!!

Oh, and by the way, those videos you made of the Cocteaus are really, really good! It's rare find talents like yours these days. Keep doing it the way you've been doing it. Try to work in some Dead can dance, some of their really early stuff, that'd be way cool! have a good one!

Cheers mate, your very kind...!!!
I,m pleased your enjoying my videos,
funnily enough, I,ve included snippets of
DCD and Lisa,s videos, in some of my own earlier ones..lost track of which ones
they were now..?
Thanx mate, great hearing from ya..!!!!
shum65 2 years ago
Yeah, Bella Union was, or still is Robyn and Simon's record label post cocteau twins label.
That's pretty cool that you made conversation with Simon Raymonde! That almost adds an extra topping to the already splendid ice-cream sundae so to speak! The band 'Celebration' I mentioned isn't on the Bella Union Label, I was just throwing them out there because there are certain elements similar to Liz's voice, but they are one of the more modern-day good ones for sure.

Hi smack mate...yeah a friend of mine got
intouch with him via his web site, asking
for him to help me,coz my videos were all
getting blocked by WMG...
It was awesome for me when he got back
intouch wanting to know what was wrong,
we had a good chat, he thanked me for all
my videos, and introducing their music to
a new generation of fans...
I was damned chuffed...ha-ha.!!!

Yeah, I have stumbled upon some rare ones here and there. It's always a nice little find when you do happen to catch one of their more obscure videos. There was a band, "Lift to Experience" that put out a couple albums under Bella Union, pretty good. They were from Denton, TX. Worth checking out if you haven't already. The band Celebration is one of my new favorites for the past couple years now, also very, very good too.

Hi mate, I,ll checkout those two bands you
mentioned, Bella Union, wasn't that the
label the Cocteau's set up themselves.?
I,ve talked with Simon Raymonde earlier
this year, he was very helpful to me about
my videos,,great bloke...!!!
Cheers smacktalker....!!

Did the cocteau twins make any actual videos for Garlands? I've always wondered that, but guess I would've found out about it by now, such a great album!!
smacktalker1 2 years ago
Hi mate...as far as I,m aware they never
made any videos back then to any of the
"Garlands" tracks, other than live footage,
in concerts, but I may be wrong, thats one
of the reasons I started to make my own
videos to their music....
Thanks smacktalker1,good 2 hear from ya

Love the drum machine too. Makes it (ex)static. But anyways! Does anybody know who the director of the video-clips was?
douweboschma 2 years ago
Hi mate...I used clips from Cocteau Twins
own videos,plus some from this Mortal-
Coil, then others from footage I thought fitted with this amazing song, then put all of them together, I guess the director is
the one doing the original CT videos...
I really like that hard hitting drum machine
it gives these early tracks that edge...
Thanx mate.....!!!
shum65 2 years ago
Hi mate..that was a trade mark in the early days,the drum machine, but later on
they used a real drummer in the studio,
and for live gigs...
Cheers saberbazer....!!
