No "Oomingmak"?
Yeah, I know. Its very nice. Trouble is, I don't have a remastered version of Victorialand, so the volume is much lower. Wreaks havoc with the continuity!

Remember you used to get free tapes with Vox and Select and Melody Maker? I fell in love with so many bands through them.
Nice mix but so many of my faves are missing..
She will destroy you
The spangle maker
Pepper tree
Hazel (Peel session version)
Alas dies laughing
Great spangled fritillary
Blind dumb deaf
the list goes on...
Double CD at least
Am I missing anything obvious?

No Cocteau Twins thread would be complete without my caveat
Their remasters are the worst sounding CDs of all time.
The original CDs or the vinyl = best way to listen to them

I get the impression that you are not a big fan of remasters in general
I know what you mean though. The vinyl Blue Bell Knoll sounds great. For compilation purposes though (especially on my Zen), I prefer remasters just because the sound is louder and more consistent with the other tracks.
I must check out Milk and Kisses - never bought that one. A friend of my sisters brought his entire Cocteau's vinyl collection to our house in about 1989/90. I never saw anything so beautiful!

Milk & Kisses is ok, it's not one of their best...it's been a while since I listened to it though.No Cocteau Twins thread would be complete without my caveat

God, imagine having the whole collection on original vinyl...I think the only place i've seen their albums on vinyl is in America, I bought 'Treasure' there. I had the 'Aikea Guinea' EP but I gave it as a present to a friend.
Thanks for the caveat nigglybits
