Cocteau Twins - Eggs and Their Shells - 1985

*FOR YOUR LISTENING ENJOYMENT ONLY*

What is the openVAULT you ask? It's quite simple. Music that for lack of a better analogy, has been locked away from the general public. What has happened to the musical landscape is sickening. Far too many artists go largely unnoticed. We are here to change that. To drive the point home, this will not be some "best of" list aka Rolling Stone. No "Stairway", no "Walrus", just music that should be heard. Here at openVAULT you're going to be forced off the beaten path more often than not.

It'll be good for you, trust us.

Every song you will hear is from our private collection, so please NO copying, downloading or reproducing these videos in any form for this is strictly prohibited. You know as in illegal, a no-no. As stated before these tunes are FOR YOUR LISTENING ENJOYMENT ONLY! We won't sell, trade, or give up any mp3s, so if you're here for that purpose please step aside, you're blocking the view of others.

Oh, the beautiful symphonic movement and orchestral majesty of this song.  I'll never tire of it 23+ years on!

I read your intro. I find what is happening to be of a basic corporate nature:

Artists that have disbanded are technically, no longer "a going concern"; without touring and new releases they make less money, so the record company loses interst in promoting them.

Artists that changed record companies are probably enduring all sorts of buisness intereference, resulting in lesser access to earlier work.

The industry needs a clean slate to influence the public with their most recent acts.
