"Todays music stinks.. "

That's what I thought about the 80's too for a time. (Yeah, I'm a really old codger) But this group changed all that for me, along with Dead Can Dance and other 4AD artists. "Ivo" was the song that first did it for me. Maybe there's some great creative music out there today too. You just don't find it as easily as you start having more and more responsibility, etc.

You're on crack!

No one can "improve" on a Cocteau Twins song. They were one of the most original and most distinctive sounding bands of all time.

I didn't know gameboy color's had video camera's on them.

@wardka Very well said! There's always good, great, and crap music, writing, film, etc. being made. What is good/great/crap is up to individual opinion. But, as you said, as personal responsibilities increase, we have less time to invest in seeking out new stuff we may enjoy, or even love. Droves of people made the same 'today's music stinks' comment about music 20, 40, even 60 and more years ago. True, some genres fade and even disappear, more or less, but keep looking.

the recording is really bad..but it's the best performance of this song.

I'd probably enjoy this if it wasn't a potato recording.

@bufon63 This version is so tame it's embarassing

[71Heggs]

@bufon63 Haha - fair shout mate. I think this version is shite - tame as feck!!

words cannot describe how good the Cocteau Twins were.

they created their own world.

Would have been really interesting if they has continued and gone down the electronica route a bit more....

@NothingSacred27 True. But My Bloody Valentine did take the sound into genuinely fresh territories.

[bufon63]

@jjj7477 Absolutely agreed. They were out on there own then. Totally original. You know something? No-one ever mentions how critically important the bassist was. Such an original delay/echo bass sound. Without the bass, it wouldn't have been the classic album it was. No-one has ever played like him. Never. Raymonde was not a patch on Heggie. Heggie should be playing in my band if I knew where the hell he was...... :)
