sugar hiccup!

Aaah yeah! Forgot that one. Cheers
Trouble is, I'm at about 66 mins on a 70 min cd.

There may be sacrifices!

Dammit! Theres another one. Have it on the Lullabies comp. It might be a bit dark though. I'm tending to go for their feel good stuff.

I can feel option paralysis coming on. The tendancy, when given unlimited choices, to make none (cc Douglas Coupland). This cd may not ever be made...

Cherry-Coloured Funk is my favourite song of all time so I'd have to push for its inclusion.

I know this isn't a Cocteau Twins song obviously, but it's got Liz on vocals...maybe as a hidden track

It's amazing.

YouTube - JEFF BUCKLEY / ELIZABETH FRASER - All Flowers In Time

Thats something else alright! Never heard it before, thanks. Its still such a thrill to hear her singing real words clearly!

I once had a dream where she was singing that U2 song Elvis Presley and America. It was extraordinary, but a total figment of my imagination!

Yeah, it used to be the coolest label ever. Those This Mortal Coil albums, the packaging, everything...
Blue Bell Knoll was my intro to the CTs. Couldn't quite believe Carolyn's Fingers...

 

[sweetoblivion]

Carolyn's Fingers is utterly amazing...all those high notes give me the shivers!

Glad you like 'All Flowers In Time...' - I only stumbled across it last year myself, which was funny because I got into Jeff and the Cocteaus together when I was a teen - I would've peed myself back then if I'd found that track.

Ha! I know what you mean. I still obviously adore music, but those teen years when I was just discovering it, were unbelievable times. That feeling of hearing something amazing for the first time! And all those things like collaborations between fave singers/ rarities/ covers etc meant everything! Even reading about such releases in Melody Maker meant so much. Ah those were the days!

It all still matters but not quite as much.

So true on both counts. I think the internet's to blame in a way - it's fantastic that we have so much access to everything, but even as little as ten years ago you had to really find music, y'know? Every little discovery meant something - whether it was through a magazine, or a friend's mix tape, or seeing it on TV....
These days you can just type a band's name and the word 'rapidshare' into google and you have their back catalogue in a few minutes. It's nowhere near the same.

Remember you used to get free tapes with Vox and Select and Melody Maker? I fell in love with so many bands through them.
