Cocteau Twins - Those Eyes,That Mouth

[whitebootsify]

I does like dis type when at d start she sounds like she's singing lists.

[shum65]

@whitebootsify Hiya my friend, this is a big fave of mine,

I played it over & over back in the days, the music & Liz are

in perfect harmony, still gives me massive goose-bumps :-))

[flaxlawna]

the first time i heard a song by the cocteau twins it was on an old

gramaphone record and i was playing it at 33rpm instead of 45. they

sounded even more mysterious like that though i did give up on them

twice. then i heard an album that was supposed to be played at 33

and i thought 'oh, they've improved'

[shum65]

@flaxlawna I bought it back in the day on vinyl, and couldnt stop

playing this one, I recorded it onto a cassette to play over & over.

I use to pretend I was singing it infront of thousands :)

[trippletear]

Opening a Cocteau Twins CD in the 1980s was like visiting a magical place. I anticipated the sound that would sweep me away for weeks, months and years.

[shum65]

@trippletear Hi there, you so right right it sure was like visiting some

magical place hearing a new Cocteau Twins CD/Record, good days :))

and a trip that lasted a life-time my friend :-))

[MyNodrama]

@shum65 Great track handsome. Your videos are so ethereal; it's perfect for this track. You have a great talent luv. =)

[shum65]

@MyNodrama Awe cheers babes, your very kind, this is a big fave

song of mine, love Lizs vocals, they're so emotional & moving :-))

[scfig009]

@trippletear I'm with you 1000%. The first time I heard my first song from them; it was like a warm river that washed over me. My eyes and mind were opened to something I never experienced since well ever.

[posypity]

those eyes, that mouth....what about THAT VOICE?

[shum65]

@posypity Lol the voice of an angel without doubt my friend :)

[MyNodrama]

@shum65 You have the soul of an angel. I really mean that.

[shum65]

@MyNodrama Lol thats lovely of you to say babes !!!!

And you also are an angel XxX ;-)

[starrbaby74]

[shum65]

@starrbaby74 Yay my lovely Shayla hows you babe?

Its one of my faves to, so dreamy,and Lizs vocals are

heaven sent here, brings back good memories XxX ;-[)

[podfunk]

They did some corking EPs, including this supreme three-tracker. This is my fave of the three songs but they're all just oceanic.

[shum65]

@podfunk Hi there, they should did classy EPs I agree this is

my fave from the EP, goosebumps big time, luv it :)

[fuzzbuzzzuk]

the very first 12" i ever bought from electron records this , i still have it , sighs smell of farewell is enough to make the hardiest of men crumble , thankyou for upoading

[shum65]

@fuzzbuzzzuk Me to my friend, still got my vinyl 12 inch of this classic,

use to play it over & over, one of their best 12inches for sure....!!!

Liz's vocals would deffo melt the heart and soul, thanks fuzzbuzzzuk :)

[777blueray]

such a beautiful sound filled with harmony ,beauty,peace and bliss!!!! A group of Beings from the Kingdom of Light,recognisable by those who are from The Kingdom of Light .God bless you shum65!!!

[shum65]

@777blueray This song takes me back to good days, and puts tears

in my eyes and heart, bless you too 777blueray XxX ;-))

[zimbo24560]

I love ses yeux to my darling !!

[shum65]

[eezysqueezy]

Floating in a sea of velvetine bliss.

[shum65]

@eezysqueezy Nicely said my friend...!!! ;)

[shum65]

@eezysqueezy Nicely said my friend..!! ;)

[paulshuvier]

@eezysqueezy

Music for an indian summer at the Lorelei mountain of lost soldiers

[Randori]

Still my favorite band and I listen to a mega TON of new music!

[shum65]

@Randori Me to my friend, just cant get enough of their dreamy music....!!! :)

[busterabcat]

Cocteau Twins music between 1983 and 1988 (Head Over Heels to Blue Bell Knoll) was like drinking the most heavenly elixir you can imagine......just wallow in the huge wash of chiming guitars, synths and THAT otherworldly voice that is Liz Fraser..... it couldn't get any better than this!

[shum65]

@busterabcat It sure couldnt get any better my friend, and this track I remember

playing over and over back in the day, both Liz's vocals and the music are magical.

It so was a golden era..... :D

[Indigobush]

the nineth track of The Moon and The Melodies

[shum65]

@Indigobush Hi there, has it been added to the Moon And The Melodies? maybe its-

been re-issued and since added, it wasn't originally on that album, it was on their 1986-

"Loves Easy Tears" 12inch/EP, great to hear from you Indigobush... ;)

[Indigobush]

@shum65 I know, I was referring to the style and sound of this song, when I first heard it on Lullabies to Violaine I definetly had the sensation of listening to a track from the Moon and the melodies :)

[shum65]

@Indigobush Maybe it reminds u off the dreamy "Sea,Swallow Me" from "The Moon And The Melodies"

Liz has that siren-like vocals on that track also, luv them both, hey lovely 2 hear from ya my friend. ;)

[Indigobush]

@shum65 correct the sound and mood of the two songs is very similar and I too love sea swallow me and the moon and the melodies, head over heels and so on. I love cocteaus' unique mix of dream,enigma and melancholy :)

[shum65]

@Indigobush Thats good, I thought it could be that song, your so right they are so alike

in both sound and mood, and those vocals are dreamy in both... they are indeed unique..

Always lovely hearing from you my friend,  take care..!! :)

[ilaydaksk]

Elizabeth Fraser (Y) !

[shum65]

@ilaydaksk Yup, a thumbs up from me 2....!!!

[ilaydaksk]

@shum65 Yea, she really deserves countless kudos! So does your profile, btw :)

[shum65]

@ilaydaksk Cheers 4 that, it was real easy my profile pici, I just put on the lights-

in the room as it was nightime anyhow, then put the camera upto my face, then

as I took the photo quickly moved the camera away, it gave a cool ghost-like effect.

Thanx ilaydaksk... ;)

[NerdGogo]

Cocteau Twins are the only band that has ever made me FEEL the music. I feel it right inside my chest. It feels like I'm heartbroken most of the time I'm listening to them, particularly this song. They take me back to the highest and happiest moments in my life. It hurts but it's so beautiful.

[shum65]

@NerdGogo Hi there, your sure getting the Cocteau's music when you feel such strong-

emotions whilst hearing them, from heartbreak to joy, its all in their, welcome aboard my friend.

Have a lovely Day.... :)

[NerdGogo]

@shum65 I've been listening to them since I was a dot. My dad is the biggest CT fan ever and has played them frequently for over 25 years. But now that I'm old enough to appreciate good music, I'm susceptible to the heartbreaking joy of their music. Liz sounds like an angel! Thanks! You too :)

[shum65]

@NerdGogo Well done to your dad for introducing you to the Cocteau's music, its music to my ears

to hear your love also, for this special band.......!!!!

[starrbaby74]

This may be just my imagination,but does anyone else hear Liz belt out "marry me" a couple times near the end and climax of this exquisite and haunting tune?

[shum65]

@starrbaby74 Could be my Starry Baby, I often hear all sorts of things in their music too....

I always find this classic track so incredibly moving... ) - - - - -

[starrbaby74]

@shum65 *smiles* Well, if she IS by chance singing out "Marry Me" then I feel a tad bit silly for posting this song onto the guy I am bonkers overs facebook page... Sure hope HE doesn't hear the same things I hear, I don't want him to run away screaming. lol <3 Hope all is well with you dear, sweet Davey

xoxoxox

[shum65]

@starrbaby74 Hiya Shayla..I'm sure that guy you posted this fab song to on

facebook, wouldnt dream of running away from you my starry-one..

I'm feeling fine thanks, hope you are good too m8...!!! xxxxx. :)

[burningcitreon]

wonderful ... the soundtrack to my life ... I've fallen in love with 2 girls, both times it was those eyes, that mouth that did it. I adored this song from the first time I heard it, mainly because it was cracking, and also because it was the first Cocteau Twins song I heard before my brother heard it....and because it was cracking!

[shum65]

@burningcitreon Its always brilliant to hear how the Cocteau Twins music has been involved

in peoples lives, mine too, just love this track so much, great comments my friend, its really good

to hear from you......!!!

[cutelittlepenguin1]

always been one of my favourite songs and so such stronger than the A side it accompanied, also shum. i really love what youve done with the video, looks perfect for the shimmering, soaring & swooping vocals of liz fraser

[shum65]

@cutelittlepenguin1 Hi there, I agree it was for me way stronger than the A side. and still

one of my all time fave songs by the band, those vocals from Liz are breathtaking....

I,m so pleased you enjoyed my video too, many thanks my friend...its great to have such

amazing feedback, much appreciated cutelittlepenguin1.....!!!!

[curtiscrush]

"now we are angels, excellent deal..."

[mtedora]

have already commented on this probably, SHUM, but omg i cannot get enough of this song EVER! and the dark hues you use as a motif here REALLY speak to me.

[shum65]

@mtedora Its one of my faves too buddy, that vocal by Liz is pure goosebumpy heaven...

Love the ending too, just takes me back all those years ago...tears of joyyyyyyy....

Glad your enjoying my humble video _m_ loved making it.... :)

[starrbaby74]

Heya Davey!

Love's Easy Tears is my favourite EP. I know it was only 4 tracks but they all settled in my blood and bones when I was the tender age of 16. Wow, almost 21 years ago. <3 ya!

[jayroche38]

I think this song has to be the high water mark for Liz's vocals ( I know some will disagree!) - I love the Edith Piaf flavour to her styling in parts of this song. Such an amazing track...

[shum65]

@jayroche38 HI there, Its certainly one of my faves both by Liz with her dreamy operatic-

vocals, and the guys with their awesome music, its combines in a truly emotional song.

Great to hear from you my friend.... :))

[inyofacepriklips]

Those eyes, that mouth full of jizz'll

cock blow twinks is more like it.

[jammybin2]

@inyofacepriklips Whoa there O_O

[markkinrade]

Creative perfection....

[shum65]

@markkinrade Many thanks my friend, its a brilliant track, just love Liz's vocals...!!!

[CuddlyJalapeno]

Amazing song, to beautiful for words.....it takes you somewhere special!

[shum65]

@CuddlyJalapeno Your so right my friend,its heavenly splendour....!!! :))

[ponchocervantes]

the joy of overproduction...

[shum65]

@ponchocervantes Glad you enjoyed this dreamy song my friend, love Liz's vocals here....!! :)

[obscurityknocks]

When I listen to the Cocteau Twins I travel on vivid oceans of sounds.

[shum65]

@obscurityknocks Beautifully said my friend, I so agree.....!!! :))

[solnegrolunaroja]

I was truly in love with a girl with sweet eyes and beautiful heart shaped mouth. It was difficult to me hear this song again. This is the first time in five years. She broke my heart. I'm cursed. This song reminds me a video about romanian women I saw. They have "Those eyes, that mouth"...

[shum65]

@solnegrolunaroja Hi there my friend, try not to feel too down hearted....

you took a big step in hearing this beautiful song again after all that time,

Well Done you....!!! Your not cursed at all, just human...stay strong and

I,m sure things will certainly get better, it a privilege to hear from you.

All the best for 2011.....!! :-))

[solnegrolunaroja]

@shum65 Thanks again! :)



[shum65]

@solnegrolunaroja Your always so very welcome my friend..!!!! :)

[chasingparkedcars]

This was clearly the standout on "Love's Easy Tears". I wore this cassette out in my junker car stereo. Thanks for the post!

[shum65]

@chasingparkedcars Hi there, your very welcome my friend....!!

I agree with you, this is my fave from "Loves Easy Tears" too.

As iandoyle69 says, goose-bump heaven......love-it...!!

Great to hear from ya friend, Happy Christmas to ya..... :-))

[zacharia644]

Wow! -- One can just sink into the caress of this song!!! I've loved this for many years!! - A beautiful, melting resonance! Liz & The Background folks! -- Thanks for posting! Cheers!

[shum65]

@zacharia644 Hi there, glad you enjoyed this heavenly song my friend,

its a big fave of mine also, Lizs vocals are mesmerising here,

It never fails to give me goosebumps...a real classic...

Good to hear from you zacharia...!!! :-)

[bumblebert]

It feels like a pointless exercise expressing in words just how gorgeous this music and band is.x

[shum65]

@bumblebert Thats so true my friend, words just arent enough..!!

[NotHomelessAnymore]

Great song title, great song too. :-D

[shum65]

@NotHomelessAnymore Yeah, the Cocteaus always had such

amazing song titles, glad you enjoyed this beautiful song,

Lizs vocals are so awesome on this, as is the guys music....

[birdhaldol]

@NotHomelessAnymore I extract pure ESP from the proven witchcraft skills of homeless feral veterans of war. the captain wants a polygraph. the leuitnant wants a voice analyzer. the homeless woman that stole from the NSA store wants a train to run over her.

[noradosmith]

@birdhaldol

cool story bro

[birdhaldol]

@noradosmith much apreCIAted. The company of strangers is an odd-ball game. You need martial arts to sit in some bars. They back you up if you can at least be civil to an unkown stripper/prostitute shipped up north What i was trying to say is the lead singer EF married me when i was 16. she south of where i was at...she took more acid than is humanly possible. She dumped me when my hell's angels lsd connection decided i was miltary-ish. they not down with bombing abortion clinics. i was.

[canomarquina]

I really dont know if I like this or not. Just heard a couple of songs from them but I suppose liking it has a lot to do with having heard it before.

[shum65]

@canomarquina Hi their my friend, its a fantastic song this one,

I love Lizs vocals here, maybe as you say, once youve heard it a

few more times you,ll begin to enjoy it more, I really hope so.

Its great to hear from you canomarquina, have a great day....!!!

and many thanks for your comments too....

[VadBibes]

@canomarquina

well, theyre the best band ever, so start liking it :D

[IvanAgram]

Cheers from Croatia, we love CT here :)

Out of this miserable world music....

[shum65]

@IvanAgram Hi their my friend, its great to hear from you.....

Its so good that you all enjoy the Cocteau Twins in Croatia...

You have excellent taste Ivan, best wishes to you my friend...

Hi to everyone in Croatia from the UK.......!!!!

[NaniAbsolute]

@IvanAgram :)) bok i od mene !

[IvanAgram]

@NaniAbsolute hehehe cool :)

[podfunk]

Always one of my absolute fave CT tracks. This one just SOOAARS!

[shum65]

@podfunk Your so right, amazing music and heavenly vocals.

Liz just sends your heart and soul into another dimension.

One of my faves too.....!!!

[Liz66bee]

Hi again:-) I've really enjoyed going through your tracks here Shum, it takes me right back to my teens - I was such a massive Cocteau's fan, I had allsorts, some rare imports too at one time, they were always on my Walkman - remember them?!lol Makes me remember the long hot summers of the 80's - happy days!

[shum65]

@Liz66bee Hi their, I,m really pleased you enjoyed listening to all

these amazing Cocteau songs my friend, they sure bring back all

those good days your so right, Walkmans..ha-ha..

Sounds like you had a fantastic collection mate, its great to hear from ya

Have a brilliant weekend Liz66bee......!!!!

[Load1Bongs1Not1Guns]

I'm too young for this shit

[shum65]

@Load1Bongs1Not1Guns Hi their m8, sorry you didnt enjoy this song,

but thanks for your comments, its good to hear from you my friend..!!!

[flarbton]

amazing of course, this song blew my mind when i bought the EP, i have all their records except 2, which i have to track down. I have all their CD's and a rare interview picture LP.

[shum65]

@flarbton Hi their my friend, its good to meet another huge fan

of this amazing band, it sounds like you have a fantastic collection

of all their vinyls and CDs, that rare interview sound cool, you

should upload it some day, I agree this song is mind-blowing...

Great to hear from you flarbton......!!!!

[hantonjavi]

I wanted to say that I agree with another comment who said that 1986 was the year when CT exploted,like a butterfly,from the dark sound to the light and colours although in my opinion BBK is a little dark again but in a very different way than the first cds,not exactly dark but uncomfortable sound (wonderful LP anyway)that is more or less what I wanted to say but my english is not good enough to explain with details the things that one can feel with the music of this miraculous band called CT

[shum65]

@hantonjavi Hi their, your English is fantastic my friend...

86 was indeed a brilliant year, I love all the differing shades

of the CT music, dark and colourful, BBK was amazing indeed,

filled with moving and emotional songs, its great to hear your

thoughts also hantonjavi, I so agree with you that the CT are a

truly miraculous band.....many thanks my friend.....!!!!

[hantonjavi]

zourrender lleva toda la razon,CT pasan del sonido oscuro a una explosion floral de luz y de color en el 86 aunque BBK del 88 volvia a ser un disco aspero aunque no oscuro como los primeros

[shum65]

@hantonjavi Hi Their my friend, sorry that I cant understand what you

have written, but its really great to hear from you, sounds like your

a huge CTs fan, and that you bought their BBK album back in 88,

its a classic album, and they sure are brilliant and original band.

Thanks hantonjavi......!!!!

[feedbackhead]

I'm thinking he's using Jazzmasters/Jaguars mostly with An early boss stereo reverb and a bit of chorus w/delay. Very Kevin Shields.

[shum65]

@feedbackhead Hi their, good to hear from you my friend..

I think your right about Robins sound effects,though I,m no

expert in these things, cheers for that feedbackhead.....!!!!

[lazord1991]

Hi shum, please can you tell me what kind of guitar robin is using? and how he make these ethereal sounds? LOL, I didn't know who to ask, and I googled but I didn't find anything. So I came to ask you since you are a hard-core Cocteaux fan (Like me :P).. It would be amazing if you helped me cause I'm thinking to buy a guitar and learn to play it, but I want it to sound like Robin's :)

[shum65]

@lazord1991 Hi Their, Sorry but I,m no expert on which guitars

Robin uses, but have you tried his MySpace site, you should be

able to either ask him or leave a message for him, asking which

guitars he uses, also I,m sure other fans who are more expert in

guitars may well be able to help you my friend, wished I could do

more to help, but let me know how you get on m8...

Best Of Luck with it all......!!!!

[her0indragon]

@lazord1991 hey dude, robin uses a lot of not so well known guitars from random companies i'm pretty sure cause i have never seen anything like the guitar he uses. but i can help you find out what causes the ethereal sounds you hear from his guitar. it sounds like he's using a lot of reverb and chorus and maybe some delay here and there.

[shum65]

@her0indragon Cheers my friend, I,m glad you are able to help

lazlord, I knew their would be someone with the knowledge.

Its really good of ya m8...thanks for that.....!!!

[drkam6]

@lazord1991 I tried a Jazzmaster through an old Big Muff v2 and into an EHX Polychorus. I read somewhere that Robin used those two and sounded quite similar. From there a battery of delays and mostly reverbs. I think he uses some Eventide racks. For the long sustained lines like on Moon And Melodies I think he uses an Ebow. Hope this helps!

[lazord1991]

I'm very lucky to be a teenager who is blessed by the music of this band. Here in Saudi Arabia all the teens are damned by the pop and mainstream rock bands and they praise them like nothing else. So I'm grateful that this is the band who made know how to feel. I've always said that if heaven had a rock band, it will be the Cocteau Twins. One of my favorites shum, Thank you.

[shum65]

@lazord1991 Hi my friend, its really great to hear your love of the Cocteaus music

and all the way from Saudi Arabia too, its really great to hear from you lazlord.

I like what you said about if heaven had a rock band it would be the Cocteaus..

This song is so moving, Lizs vocals are so heavenly and siren-like,I,m so pleased this is a fave of yours also my friend, best wishes to ya.......

[fuzzbuzzuk]

amazing , takes me back to when i was 16 , cheers for posting

[shum65]

@fuzzbuzzuk Your very welcome my friend, it takes me back to good days too,

and still gives me goose-bumps everytime I hear it...such a classic...!!!

[zourrender]

ok i'll do my best. 1986 should be the exploding year for the Cocteaus: victorialand, the moon... and this ep record called "love's easy tears"; in just one year they did explore the most deep and polished sensibility and right then got us amazed with those songs charged with shining melancholy as they called love's easy tears. There could not be one single trick on it.

[shum65]

@zourrender Hi my friend...you speak English really well....I to agree, 86 was such a groundbreaking year for the Cocteaus...two awesome and very individual albums like nothing else in the charts at the time, and then as you said this -classic song taken from the "Love,s Easy Tears" 12inch, I,ve still got all of them on vinyl from back in the day..

Many thanks for translating your comments my friend.....!!!!

Have a great weekend......

[zourrender]

1986 debe ser EL año de explosion para CT: victorialand, the moon and the melodies y este EP, en solo un año exploraron lo mas profundo de una muy pulida sensibilidad y luego sorprenden con la melancolía brillante de las canciones del love's easy tears, en esto no puede haber engaño

[shum65]

@zourrender Hi my friend, Sorry I cant understand what you have kindly written,

But I love this beautiful song, its so moving,and filled with emotion...

Have a great weekend zourrender....its good to hear from you..!!

[shum65]

@Diosade Hi my friend..Its a beautiful song indeed, I love Liz,s vocals, so magical,

They always give me goose-bumps......

Great hearing from you mate, Happy Easter to you....!!!

[shum65]

Wise words indeed...!!

Cheers mate....great hearing from ya...!!

[curtiscrush]

everytime, everytime i hear the outro to this masterpiece i get choked up and i get goose bumps...no other song can do that to me. it's a strange magic.

[shum65]

Cheers curtiscrush,I know what you mean

it has the same effect on me too..

Its magic for sure my friend....!!

Goose-bump heaven...

[noradosmith]

Just an absolute genius piece of music.

[shum65]

Hi noradosmith..totally agree with ya..

One of my faves too..very moving..!!

Cheers mate...

[symphonythree]

does the WMG ownership issue mean that the music will be taken away from youtube, from our pleasure, from our innocent reasons for listening, our joy at the sound. it is intensely sad that music is 'stolen' from its creative source for capital gain for the coorporations. WMG is a monstrous abomination, i am gonna steal it back, and place it in our souls.

[shum65]

Hi mate..Some of its been removed 4 now

sure hope its not for good,I guess until this money issue with YouTube is sorted

Good point mate about stealing it back.!!

and in our souls...ha-ha..!!

You,ve got my backing symph...!!!!

Good to here from ya my friend...!!

[vazjam]

Cocteaus are a bit like Pink Floyd: you go for the music not the show and if you can't appreciate that, well...that's the real shame for you.. Liz and Robin are more like a book which you read and imagine you own scenario...

Just my point of view (I saw lots of them years ago [ thanks for the Throwing Muses, by the way, Ivo and 4AD])

Vaz x

[shum65]

Cheers mate..I totally agree with what you

said...!!

Perfectly put...!!

Thanks Vazjam...

What a load of criminal spheres from bobby: Nothing can detract from Liz's vocals...Love's Easy Tears is possibly my favourite of all Cocteau's wonderful contribution to the world of music and to my life in partricular...Rock on, Liz, Robin and Simon XX

Hi vazjam...no bobbs was just standing- up for me mate,it was the other person saying my video did nothing for the song, Your totally right my friend saying that - nothing can ever detract from Liz's iconic, and heavenly vocals... You have great taste in music vazjam... This is one of my many faves by them... jahraytv,got a bit confused thinking that it was bobby who had done the video..!! I agree vazjam,Rock on.Liz,Robin,Simon!! Great hearing from ya mate....!!

[vazjam]

My pleasure...no - really - great to communicate with someone who shares my choice in music...it's been a long time...I nearly met Robin, once, a long time ago: he was dropping some kit off for my mate at her house....drat...missed it! (actually, probably good that I did...Not so great meeting your idols and finding that their feet are made of clay...)...

Best to you, my friend

Hi vazza...know what mean about meeting your idols..thats a fear I,ve always had... its better not to, just leave them up their on that pedestal.. Although Ive chatted to Simon Raymonde, earlier this year,he,d heard I was having troubles with copyright issues and the- Warner Music Group,and offered his help, He was really great,and very kind about my videos for the band...we,re friends on MySpace too...alas as he said the band made little money from their songs.!! Best 2 ya mate...!!

Hi, Shum: how would Simon ever be anything other than a gentleman? I'm amazed that they made little money....There truely is no justice, is there?

The friend I alluded to, whom I met in pub in London where we were both playing a gig, became a great mate and I actually ended up doing backing vocals on her 'critically acclaimed' album (only great because of my contribution, of course....!!!). One case of not being disillusioned, I guess...

No news on outstanding royalties then?

Hi vaz...your right about the Cocteau's..its an absolute crime they made hardly any money from all their classic tracks... Simon did say, it was down to lack of their own experience back then,and also some bad management.....alas it seems that the Warner Music group,have all the rights to their music,except for some later stuff!! Hes a great guy Simon,very helpful... Hey ...Good to chat to ya vaz...!! Best wishes mate...!!

[vazjam]

It has been a pleasure, Shum: all the best to you...I've posted this as a favourite to share and shall pursue Flagstones to post also (my page shall become a shrine to Cocteaus, if I'm not careful...So much more to discover, though: keep me posted with music you think I would like to hear).

Bestest, Vazza xx

[shum65]

Hi dear friend...what better shrine than to

the Beautiful Cocteau's music...!!

You have great taste indeed..!!

Have you checked out Lisa Gerard,along

with both This Mortal Coil,and her own

iconic band Dead Can Dance..??

Very Bestest back Vazza XXX

[vazjam]

Hi, Shum: Oddly enough, on a roll last night, I added some Dead Can Dance to my favourites! As for This Mortal Coil...What can I say? .I think Song to the Siren should take first place in all my fave's. I never really got to grips with Victorialand & the Harold Budd collaboration really got forgotten past the first hearing...What are your thoughts on the early offerings..Garlands etc?

I also love Ivo's Bulgarain Voices which, if you haven't given a chance, you must.

Bestest Vaz xx

[shum65]

Hi Vaz..I love all "Garlands" One of my fave

albums by the Twins..and "Blind Dumb -

Deaf" my fave track..."Victorialand" is such

an awesome album,you should listen to

it a few times mate..just beautiful...!!

Ive done videos to them both..

Which version of "Ivo" do you mean.??

Ive done a video for the Cocteau's ace-

"Treasure" album version...

Do you mean the DCD version.??

[vazjam]

Hi, Shum: sorry for the confusion, I meant that Ivo of 4AD produced Mystere de la Voix Bulgares (poor attempt at French there..!). I love everything on Treasure (including Ivo...did DCD do a version? Wow, that would be worth a listen..).
