Haven't heard Cocteaus on RP before, wonderful news. Beautiful. Hope it's the first of many - there are even better tunes than this in their back catalogue.

Yet another first for me on RP. Love ya, baby! What a sweet harmony! Very '90s, but also very now.

"especially Blue Bell Knoll and Heaven or Las Vegas."

That is a very good recommendation!

Yes, ANY Cocteau Twins in pretty darn fine! I am a HUGE CT fan, dating back to "Garlands", even seen them in concert in the early 90's! I actually really LOVE this song. I think it's the "up" & "shimmery" mood of it. I was just VERY happy indeed to hear some of them on RP. I say keep it coming & dip into the "back catalog" as well!

I'll ditto that. I once floated down a lazy river listening to their "Treasure" on a boombox I always carried around with me. My current husband was rowing.

This has been the case for a good half dozen purchases. In too many cases, much of the CD is easily forgettable except for the one played here. Consider that yet another testimonial for the value of Radio Paradise and the taste to separate the best from the mediocre.

One day a man woke up and said I'm going to broadcast music to people over the interweb. People said he was crazy. "You're nuts!" They said. "It'll never work". That man's name is Raffi Waldo Manchester and he failed. But, lucky for us, Bill Goldsmith succeeded.

I am going to have to start this practice, too - what little I've heard of Cocteau Twins I love.  I'm giving this one a bump... 7 -> 8

One of very few bands that I have seen that was actually worse live than than in recordings.  No fault in the performance, but the trebly, compressed and heavily reverb-ed sound they record does not translate well to a live environment.  It was hopelessly muddled and indistinct.  Very disappointing, as I love their recordings.

This has a nice groove and flows well from Porcupine Tree's lush and moody Darkmatter piece. That is meant as a compliment.

So how do you pronounce the name of this band? I have a bet with a friend...he says it's pronounced Cock-a-too Twins, I say it is Cock-tow Twins. So which is it? consensus???

See Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau. Quite certain he was not a bird.

Excellent tune.
