Maybe it was those preconceptions that caused you to take exception to the photo in the first place, when in fact it was just a photo of a girl. She has quite an unusual face and I don't think she was trying too hard to be anything but herself. I imagine photo shoots could be quite awkward for someone like her who isn't a natural 'poser'.



Look how lovely she is. Don't you feel ashamed now?..

No I do not. What is she looking down like that for -- got some shit on her shoe?

Here's an old video of Cocteau Twins being interviewed, which I think probably says more than still photos:

Interesting. She uses real English words too.

Perhaps when she sings in English, it's like when others's speak in tongues? Aikea Guinea?

This explains it..

I think I'm in the minority of Cocteau Twins fans that prefer their later albums with Liz Fraser doing 'normal' singing. I was never a big fan until I heard Blue Bell Knoll which blew me away..as did Heaven Or Las Vegas. The vocal melodies are lovely when she sings like that. I remember seeing them live shortly after and being disappointed that she reverted back to that very affected style of singing in a live situation.

Well regardless of preferences, you have to admit at the very least she's an original. Not for everyone but you know instantly who you are listening to when it comes to the Cocteau Twins.

I always liked this song.

Cool atmosphere and really neat guitar lines.

This one's been a staple since it came out ; so dense and rich ; sounds great cranked up loud
