Subject: Cocteau Twins (who else?) on CD
Newest acquisition: Cocteau Twins "Treasure" CAD 412 CD Slight hiss, and the fade-in to "Ivo" seems a bit sudden, but maybe that's only because I had the volume up so much :-) Also maybe a bit trebly. My record-shopping companion picked up the Bauhaus collection, so I'll report his impressions sometime. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ I've put "Victorialand" away and am now only listening to it once every few days. It leaves me in a very wrung-out, spacey mood ... like coming down from a trip. Call me weird, but I felt the album was becoming dangerous. Not that it isn't stupendous, but like some other things it should be done only rarely and with forethought. --Peter Alfke alfke@csvax.caltech.edu "The word that would best describe this feeling would be 'Haunted' ..." --Love & Rockets
