Subject: Cocteau Twins
For the last two weeks on '120 Minutes,' MTV has shown Cocteau Twins videos. Two weeks ago they showed "Love's Easy Tears" and last week they showed their cut from the new 4AD compilation ("Lonely Is An Eyesore"). This week, apparently, they will be showing 5 videos from the compilation. In addition to the C. Twins, they have already shown the Wolfgang Press video. The compilation itself is well worth seeking out, the limited edition even more so - It comes with a full colour, heavy stock booklet with blurbs on each of the bands and accompanying 23 Envelope artwork. All of the tracks were recorded specifically for the compilation, although at least two (Throwing Muses' "Fish" and Xymox's "Muscoviet Musquito") have appeared in different versions elsewhere. One of the two Dead Can Dance tunes sounds familiar too - I think it was on their first EP, but I haven't checked the titles. There are also tracks by Dif Juz, Wolfgang Press, Colourbox, and This Mortal Coil. Check it out! -Peter E. Lee Fuligin%Umass.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu
