Could somebody post a "guide" to the Cocteau Twins: Discography and recommendations? I have heard Treasure and I particularly like Ivo and Pandora. What's the rest like? Also, regarding Treasure, it would seem that each song is a named after Greek goddess. Is this reflected in the lyrics as well (it's mighty hard to tell). Thanks for your guidance. . /\/\ / /\/\ / / /_/ / / / "No pinky ring hustlers, No sabre-tooth neighbours"

For those of you interested in the Cocteau Twins, here is the definitive discography of UK and US releases from one of their biggest fans. Also I am starting a fan club for those who have been mesmerised by Liz Fraser's incredibly beautiful voice. Currently in the planning stages are a newsletter, featuring the Cocteaus primarily, but also other 4.A.D bands. Please write back with any ideas or suggestions you may have. I can be reached at nelson@ucla.astro.edu or nelson@uclastro. Hope you find this interesting/useful! May your dewdrops be ever pearly...

I just discovered the Cocteau Twins about a week ago, and am now endeavoring to get my hands on as much of their music as possible. I now have _Heaven Or Las Vegas_, _Victorialand_, _Tiny Dynamine/Echoes In A Shallow Bay_, _Blue Bell Knoll_, and _Garlands_. I would love a complete discography, information on availability, and capsule reviews (their music has evolved considerably over the years), if anyone out there has that sort of thing. Thanks. -Randy -- Internet: gobbel@ucsd.edu My hovercraft is full of eels.

Another question that comes to mind is whether the albums on 4AD will ever be released in the US. I don't get real thrilled about forking out ~$20 for an imported Cocteau Twins album, although they are worth it, and in a few months I'll probably break down and buy the ones I don't already have. ...
