Awesome Music / Cocteau Twins

• Heaven Or Las Vegas. Every song could be talked about here, but a few examples:
  • Album opener "Cherry-Coloured Funk", a great introduction to the Sweet Dreams Fuel of the album. And those guitar riffs are beautiful.
  • The Title Track is ear worm incarnate and a perfect showcase of Fraser's Indecipherable Lyrics.
  • "Pitch The Baby". That bassline is perfection.
  • All of "I Wear Your Ring" is great, but its last minute features a truly transcendental outro.
  • Album closer "Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires" starts out with a beautiful piano riff and sparse percussion, coupled with ambient noise. Liz's voice starts, reverberating through the atmosphere... And then after a minute and a half, those three drum hits. I can't explain it well here, but there are three drum hits that happen right before chorus the song just explodes, with a guitar riff cutting through everything and the incredibly catchy vocals of the chorus, even if you can't completely tell what she's saying.
    Rounder...
    Pull rounder...
• Fans and critics will often cite Treasure. "Lorelei" is a good example, especially that bridge.
