        Hey there. I've got a copy of 4AD forgotten tracks, which includes most of
the B-sides from the first 10 singles and EPs (20 songs in all). It's a
great CD, but after buying the box set last week, I've basically got all of
the songs off 4AD forgotten tracks.

        Anyway, I just wondered if anyone had any good-quality bootleg CDs they'd
like to trade. I'd love to have a copy of a live show from the Victorialand
era or later, but I'd also be willing to trade for some combination of the
regular releases I don't have, which include both Violaine singles, both
Tishbite singles and Moon and the Melodies. Let me know if you're
interested!

        Thanks,

        Brian

Mime-Version: 1.0

It's 9:10 am in Southeast Florida.  I just woke up.  I am off from work today.
I had a bizarre dream with Liz Fraser that I must share with the CT List.
Those of you who are natural born psychoanalysts can have your fun.  Here it
goes:
I dreamt that Liz worked next to me in an office environment and when I popped
my head into her workspace which was like a cubicle except the wall were made
out of fabric, like american indian like fabrick.  Well, she then sang for me
and somehow she was able to sing line over line to create these multiple
harmonies which blew me away.  In my helpless dream state, I couldn't figure
out how she could have literally surround sound by just using these fabric
walls.  I just accepted it, after all, she is brilliant in my book.

Then comes along an old man, a kind of professorial looking man, who takes Liz
and I on a short walk to explain how you can do wonders not only with your
voice but with your pen...meaning you can write a book or anything you wish
about multiple dimensions (getting weird eh??).  He proceeded to walk and chat
in depth about anything interesting that he saw, explaining that all you need
to do is let yourself go.

Liz did not look anything like Liz (she was slightly heavy set, tall, with
black hair).
We then went to lunch together in the company cafeteria and I said the
following:  Wouldn't it be startling to the CT list when I tell that I work
next to Liz?!

Hope you enjoyed that.  I guess I am in love with Liz; or  I am having
withdrawals from not seeing them in concert; or I need help!!!  Hope you
enjoyed that.

I don't know if it was posted or not but there is a section in "Vox"
magazine about rock stars who are in relationship. There was a small photo
and a paragraph that talked about Liz and Robin.

the fact that the actual lyrics are elusive. Sort of a collaboration as
arbitrary interpretation. It hasn't stopped me from frightening anyone
within earshot with my unmelodic crooning. ;-)

I have the opportunity to purchase a CD by the Cocteau Twins entitled Live
in London.  It has 13 songs on the disc, of which I have no idea of the
track listing.  Is anyone familiar with this disc, and if so is it worth
shelling out the $25?
Thanx,

i'm a bit puzzled as to why 'song to the siren' was in heavy rotation for
the creepy house scenes of lost highway but wasn't included on the
soundtrack?  actually, i don't even recall seeing the song listed in the
movies end credits!  i dearly adore david lynch, but this event has been
a tad disconcerting.  anyone know the reason for such a travesty?

also, does anyone know how i can get a copy of victorialand on vinyl?  i
have the cd, but thinking about it...  it's so haunting that i want to be
able to put it on a player and hear the hiss and crackle of all classic
vinyl.  i project it would be the most appropriate way to hear the album.
 the arctic silence- cold winds brushing the dry bits of snow across each
other.  yeah...  how else?

personally i think that live in london is a pretty bad live recording, it's
not a soundboard and the quality is pretty mediocre! also, if you do some
searching i think you can probably find this disc for less than $25.

song to the siren is indeed in the credits of lynch's "lost highway" you
just have to look carefully, i suggest you rent it and go through the
credits at your own pace! (remember....you're looking for a 'this mortal
coil' credit, not a cocteau twins credit!)

it seems that there is some confusion about my 'live gifts' cd and the
'live in london' cd.  i just wanted to clarify that these are not the same
discs! some people have written to me about this and i thought i'd just
clear it up.

'live in london' is a bootleg cd recorded in 1986, there are roughly 40,000
copies of this disc currently in existance, although each disc falsely
claims to be one out of only 1000 copies! the 'live gifts' cd on the other
hand, is an incredible soundboard recording of a show from the HOLV tour.
this cd is not available for purchase in stores so don't bother looking for
it!

hope this clears things up!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Les,
A little more info:
Live In London 1986 is an audience recorded bootleg from their show
at the Town and Country Club; London, England -- Nov. 17th, 1986--
(the date varies depending on your source, as do many boots)
"Lazy Calm" has Richard of Dif Juz on Sax, the "Instrumental" is an
unreleased track and the overall quality is Fair, at best, with the
sound being a bit "tinny" compared to analogue dubs that have been
circulating.  As for spending $25 for it, you'd probably be able to
get it for less somewhere (anyone?), as it's been spotted for about
$18/$22 elsewhere... The boot is a very highly circulated show that
just about everyone has, so keep searching for it a little cheaper.

Hope this helps....
(jpg is cover of boot)
cheers,
bryan

I like not knowing what the lyrics are because I can make up whatever I want.
Their music is more of a melodic journey than it is an actual song and if the
lyrics were decipherable it would take away from that.

Singles review in todays Face magazine"Massive Attack-Teardrop: (Virgin): .
A classic. The
     standout track from the Bristolians' new album, "Mezzanine", sees Liz
"Cocteau" Frazer aching all over a
     shimmering Massive backdrop. Ranks alogside "Unfinished Sympathy" and
"Protection"- you can treat
     the accompanying remix action (Primal Scream, Underdog) as
superfluous." Anything that even
     approaches the quality of Unfinished Sympathy has to be something to
get excited about. I hope it's out soon but you never can tell with these
hip monthly magazines- has anyone heard the album?

Does anyone know about "Otherness" and the single with branches on the cover
(I don't remember its name). They were released around '95 and were very odd.
Not the usual CT stuff.

Wha???  HMV is selling bootlegs?  Or was this in a used bin?  I've
seen boots occasionally show up in a used bin in a store, but a chain
selling them "new" is quite another thing altogether...

They were both mini-albums with four tracks on each.  Twinlights was the
one with the branches - it was mostly acoustic with piano violas and
stuff.  otherness was a trance-ethereal effort with remixes of some HOLV
and M&K stuff.  Twinlights had all M&K stuff, except for one
Victorialand remix on it, I think

amen...  if you think that Unfinished Sympathy is good...

try buying shara nelson's solo album.  one of the songs was cowritten
with st. ettiene.  it is a brilliant work.  the premiere song (with st
ettiene) is 'down that road' which, if i'm not mistaken, is also the
title track.  i'm not staring at the cd.  my plug is done...

        So true!

        Twinlights (with the thorny branches) is acoustic remixes,
        Otherness is electronic remixes.

    My Humble Opinion:

        Otherness outshines Twinlights in listenablitity and innovation.

the ep with the branches, is more a sparse, light acoustic work.. Each
took awhile to  grow on me, but both have in such a way that both are in
the CD changer as I type this (along with the Iceblink Luck EP,
Lullabies, and Love's Easy Tears--what a feast o' EPs!)

it seems that there is some confusion about my 'live gifts' cd and the
'live in london' cd.  i just wanted to clarify that these are not the same
discs! some people have written to me about this and i thought i'd just
clear it up.

'live in london' is a bootleg cd recorded in 1986, there are roughly 40,000
copies of this disc currently in existance, although each disc falsely
claims to be one out of only 1000 copies! the 'live gifts' cd on the other
hand, is an incredible soundboard recording of a show from the HOLV tour.
this cd is not available for purchase in stores so don't bother looking for
it!

hope this clears things up!

Les,
Hi.  I just bought the Live in London cd and I had to turn it off before
it finished.  The quality is very poor.  It sounds as though it was
recorded on a walkman down in the audience.  It is very muffled and
often the fans are louder than the music.  Any sections where Liz is
singing sound like her voice was out of the range of the littlle machine
and it sounds tinny or vibrating... if that makes sense.  The numbering
system on the back is totally bogus.  There are far more than 1,000
pressings so it is not actually rare.  My copy says that the CD is
limited to 1000 pressings even though it is numbered  3500.  People on
the list have confirmed that there are many copies of this CD in
circulation.  If you are looking to have a permanent record of the live
Cocteau sound, this is not the CD to buy.  I will keep it in my
collection just for the sake of having it, but I doubt I will listen to
it.

If you want a tape of it let me know.

actually, i think that twinlights (the thorny branches ep) should not be
accused of being "acoustic remixes"  the songs weren't just reproduced...
 they were reperformed entirely.  officially new recordings. the original
versions of half-gifts and rilkean heart show up on m&k, while
pink-orange-red was from either tiny dynamine or echoes in a shallow bay
(i don't remember) and the song golden-veined was a song recorded
exclusively for the ep.  i believe golden-veined was an experiment in
sound which inspired them to rerecord a few other songs in acoustic form.
 this ep caught the cocteau twins lying in an earlier part of their
career as they had once called the victorialand album an acoustic album.
they also said that victorialand would be the closest thing they would
record to conventional acoustic.  tsk tsk tsk....  but how can anyone
know how their ideas will change 10 years down the road?  i guess we'll
have to forgive them

Be sure to get the Lifeforms *CD-EP* rather than the CD-album, since Liz
is on the EP. (To confuse the issue, the EP is around 42 minutes long...)

Regarding the otherness and twinlights ep's I have only heard the
twinlights cd.  I think its a great departure from their typical rendition
of their material.  I find the stripped-down version of half-gifts on
twinlights to be simply beautiful and quite emotional.  However, the
version on M&K sounds more like something played by an organ grinder and
his monkey. (please, I intend no offense. It was just an impression.  I
still like the track but just not to the same degree as on twinlights.  :)

Are the tracks on otherness remixes or are they completely new versions?
If new, what sets them apart from the tracks that appear on M&K and
elsewhere?  I saw somewhere that they were more ethereal.  Is that true or
are they more techno oriented?

Cheers,

Steve

I agree -- I thought it was a joke when I first heard M&K. Maybe it was a
joke! Robin got sick of hearing Liz go on about "mature thinking" &c, & said
"Heh, heh, I'll fix you in the production, babe."

>Are the tracks on otherness remixes or are they completely new versions?

They're remixes by Mark Clifford (of Seefeel fame). Very ambient -- he takes
a couple of bits out of each song & extends them over several minutes. I
have to be in the right mood for it, but do enjoy it. You ought to pick it
up before it disappears.

Steve, I HIGHLY recommend 'Otherness'!  It is very ambient, and very
beautiful.  The four tracks are:  Feet-like Fins, Seekers Who Are Lovers,
Violaine, and Cherry Coloured Funk.  None of which sound anything like
their album counterparts.  As Paul said, better grab it now before it
disappears.

I recommend it, too.  Especially Feet-Like-Fins - it's wonderful.  It is
one of the only songs that I love that is so simple and repetetive -
leave it to CT ...

>...so the m&k tracks on twinlights were NOT works-in-progress...?

as i recall, the versions on m&k of rilkean and half-gifts ARE the
originals...  the twinlights versions were recorded for these songs
because the twins saw the potential for them to be done acoustically.
twinlights was a hybrid version of these two and pink-orange-red.  i'm
not sure if these three revisions inspired them to write golden-veined or
if golden-veined inspired them to rerecord a few songs, though.  someone
else will need to find that out.  i do know that the (icky) circus-ish
version of half-gifts almost didn't make it to the album.  the lyrics
were written about robin and liz' relationship and liz thought it was
important that the song be on the album.  as far as i've heard...  it was
begrudgingly done.  liz was the only one that liked it.

in addition, since the cocteau twins don't record songs conventionally
you could consider ALL of their songs "works-in-progress".  apparently,
their songs start as washes of feedback and snippets of picked lines
which are mostly chosen for their sound or melody.  this mess is pasted
together in either a logical or illogical way (song direction pending)
and it just keeps changing till it sounds good.  given the number of
interpretations they present their songs in even after they've recorded
the "final" versions (the live shows were remixed on the spot by mark
clifford, otherness, acoustic bluebeard, twinlights) the songs are still
changing to this day.  the twins seem humble enough to know that their
songs don't sound the best that they could.  they played the twinlights
versions of half-gifts and rilkean heart during their live shows instead
of the album versions.  does this say the songs got better in their own
eyes?  of course, this is only speculation...

What >say = >all of you? Shall it happen? if you are talking about the compilation os listies covering cocteau twins songs from a little over a year ago, i think we can blame me for that one. while it was a good idea i had a big problem. i only recieved 1 persons contribution and the one that i did. (stratton, was it you who sent me "know who you are at every age"?) i was going to transfer everything into a digital form so that when i made copies there wouldn't be any additional quality lost, since we were compiling analog copies. (unless people can record things onto either cd or mini-disc.) in any case... we sent a request for everyone that wanted to contribute a song to do so. this was done on both the cocteau twins list and the 4AD mailing list. like i said... 1 response. if you can get more people to contribute this time i will still compile the tapes (lest someone else has better means) and ship them out for only the price of shipping and the tapes. it was also suggested that people who wanted to create artwork for the tape covers send in their ideas via snail mail or post them on the internet and give the web address for listies to stare them down. if you guys decide it's a good idea and can get enough people to warrant the project, i'll still help out. ponyboy braintag@juno.com _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I feel that she uses her voice as an intrument =8B without emphasizing what words (notes on a instrument) she's singing but rather what sounds the words produce. I also have no interest in knowing exactly what she says because if she wanted us to know, she'd publish her words in the album sleeves like every other musician does (and she isn't like every other musician). To her I think that the words and the meaning o= f the songs are very personal and what she wants us to enjoy is the overall sound she produces.

Tracklists for the eps under discussion: OTHERNESS TWINLIGHTS Feet Like Fins Rilkean Heart (acoustic version) Seeker who are Lovers Golden-Vein Violaine Pink Orange Red (acoustic version) Cherry Coloured Funk Half-Gifts (acoustic version with strings) 0therness is CT, waaaaaaay remixed by Mark Clifford: remixed almost to the point your not being able to recognize the original tune. Do you like Seefeel? If so, run right out right now and buy Otherness! If you aren't familiar with Seefeel/Mark Clifford stuff, well, you've got to like electronic music, and not just electronic dance music,and creative sampling to enjoy this ep. Which I definitely do! I love Otherness. It's byoootiefull and totally unlike anything which has beenn released under the name Cocteau Twins. Of course, opinions will vary, as they always do. For example, though much good stuff has been said about Twinlights, I can't honestly echo the sentiment. I don't really like what I hear as the plainness and unoriginality of it. YUCK!

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hello... I just joined the list and it's introduction time for me....my name's Mike, 22, and reside in the Baltimore, MD, USA area....I'll be graduating from college in May and then....I don't know....but you probably don't care about that... I guess my first intro. to the Twins had to be when I heard Bluebeard on the radio....didn't know a darn thing about them still for a few years following, until a co-worker played Treasure for me at and I was interested....heard the Twinlights and Otherness EP's and I was hooked....I saw them in 1996 at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, and was near tears during "Half-Gifts"....rarely has a band had such an effect on me.... Began to search out other recordings, one by one....still don't have them all, but I keep looking...I just last week picked up Simon Raymonde's album and found a used copy of the French pressing of Victorialand for $7 !! "what a deal..." I saw a used copy of the Singles Box Set a few months back and now really regret not picking it up....oh well.... Though I was sad to hear the recent news about troubles in the band, I'm happy enough for all of the music they have released thus far...it has made my soul a little brighter inside and out... The Cocteau Twins provide a unique joy of listening for me, like no other band....I suspect that's why we love them....I've been searching for CT fans for awhile, and I'm looking forward to conversing with some true fans of one of the most unique bands I've ever known....

My name is Nick and I am 26 years old, I live in Stourbridge.West = Midlands. England. I graduated in computing in 1996 and since then have = worked within the local electricity board. My hobbies include music, = computing, mountain biking, socialising and both The X-files and The = Simpsons tv shows. Although I had heard of the Cocteau Twins in the mid 1980`s, being such = an obscure and reclusive band they didn`t receive much radio airplay and = as a result it wasn`t until 1990 that I actually heard a track by them.=20 It was whilst watching on television a program called `The Chart Show', = which had charts for various types of music the track `Iceblink Luck' = was played on the independent music slot and I was totally amazed. = Obviously the first think that struck me was Liz`s unique voice. = Secondly, I was very much drawn to the deep bass guitar (being similar = to The Cure or New Order) as well as the multi-layered guitars which I = adore. A couple of weeks after hearing `Iceblink Luck' I rushed out = and bought the then newly released album `Heaven or Las Vegas' a couple = of plays later and I was hooked! Soon after this I have enjoyed hunting down other Cocteau Twins albums = and e.p`s and now own all of their tracks in one form or the other. =20 As they don`t tour very often I have only been to see the band in = concert once in February 1994 following the release of `Four Calendar = Cafe', and although four years later my memory of the concert has faded = I still remember the tingling sensation that went through me when I = heard Liz singing the opening track that night `Pur'. Unfortunately = their `Milk & Kisses' tour of England only consisted of six venues and = they did not play anywhere near the West Midlands area so I never got to = see them on that tour. I only hope that if the stated troubles within the band could lead to = no future Cocteau`s releases, they do one last tour before they split. Although I like lots of bands particularly others that use multi-layered = guitars (The Cure, The Sundays, The Chameleons, Kitchens of = Distinction), no other band has had such a emotive effect on me. To me = the Cocteau Twins music is very personal, intimate and embracing, music = I love to play during the long winter nights (for some reason their = music always remind me of this time of year). Anyway, I would dearly love to hear from other fellow Cocteau Twins fans = anywhere in the world (and critics say the internet is anti-social!!!), = to share views on the Cocteau`s, life, and anything else really ! Take Care all, and thanks for reading, I look forward to hearing from = some of you soon.
