Blue Bell Knoll is Cocteau Twins in full bloom, luminous, melodic, and effortlessly immersive. The edges soften, the rhythms open up, and Robin Guthrie’s guitar textures shimmer with a newfound clarity.

Tracks like “Carolyn’s Fingers” and the title cut feel weightless yet grounded, dreamy without drifting away. Radiant and inviting, this is the band translating atmosphere into joy. more

	Garlands Used Import - CAD 211 1982 UK import original. VG+ player, light sleeve scuff. First UK original we've seen. "Made In England" sticker affixed to front cover. "Those hearing Garlands for the first time who only know the band's other material will likely be more than a little surprised. Whereas the typical vision of the Twins is of beautiful washes of sounds and exultant vocals from Fraser, on Garlands the trio is still only part of the way there. Instead, the best comparison points are to the Cure on Faith and Pornography, perhaps Metal Box-era PiL, a touch of Joy Division here and there -- in sum, deep, heavy mood verging on doom and gloom. Bassist Will Heggie, in the only full album he did with the Twins, clearly follows the Peter Hook/Simon Gallup style of low, ominous throb, while Guthrie's guitar work more often than not screeches loudly than shimmers. Fraser's singing has a starker edge, unsettling even at its most accessible, sometimes completely disturbing at other times. The strongest track, "Wax and Wane," has the trio creating a powerful but also surprisingly danceable track, the crisp drumbox beat working against Guthrie's compelling atmospherics and Fraser's vocal hook in the chorus. Beyond that and a couple of other moments, though, Garlands falters due to something the band generally avoided in the future -- overt repetition. Too many of the songs rely on a unified formula that rarely changes; one need only compare to the multiplicity of styles tried on Head Over Heels to see the difference. As a debut effort, though, Garlands makes its own curious mark, preparing the band for greater heights." All Music Guide – Ned Raggett more

	Head Over Heels Used - LP - CAD 313 1983 UK Original With Custom Inner Sleeve. Record Appears Glossy, Unplayed. “Losing Original Member Heggie Might At First Have Seemed A Troubling Blow, But In Fact It Allowed The Duo Of Fraser And Guthrie To Transcend The Darkened One-Note Gloom Of Garlands With Head Over Heels. The Album Introduces A Variety Of Different Shadings And Approaches To The Incipient Cocteaus Sound, Pointing The Band Towards The Exultant, Elegant Beauty Of Later Releases. Opening Number "When Mama Was Moth" Demonstrates The New Musical Range Nicely; Fraser's Singing Is Much More Upfront, While Guthrie Creates A Bewitching Mix Of Dark Guitar Notes And Sparkling Keyboard Tones, With Percussion Echoing In The Background.” – Ned Raggett, AMG more
	Head Over Heels New Import - CAD 3709 Sealed, latest run of the 180gm EU reissue. Remastered from HD audio. Custom hype sticker on shrink. Head Over Heels is the sound of Cocteau Twins slipping fully into their own private language.

	Heaven Or Las Vegas New - LP - CAD 3420 Sealed 2020 remastered reissue; pressed on 180gm audiophile vinyl. "Deciding to scale back the overly pretty sound on Blue Bell Knoll while experimenting with more accessibility -- -- the Twins ended up creating their best album since Treasure. From the start, Heaven... is simply fantastic: on "Cherry-Coloured Funk," Guthrie's inimitable guitar work chimes leading a low-key but forceful rhythm, while Raymonde's grand bass work fleshes it out. Fraser simply captivates; her vocals are the clearest, most direct they've ever been, purring with energy and life. Many songs have longer openings and closings; rather than crashing fully into a song and then quickly ending, instead the trio carefully builds up and eases back. These songs are still quite focused, though, almost sounding like they were recorded live instead of being assembled in the studio. Due credit has to be given to the Cocteaus' drum programming; years of working with the machines translated into the detailed work here, right down to the fills. "Fifty-Fifty Clown," starting with an ominous bass throb, turns into a lovely showcase for Fraser's singing and Guthrie's more restrained playing. But the Twins don't completely turn their back on Knoll's sound; "Iceblink Luck," has the same lush feeling and a newfound energy -- the instrumental break is almost a rave-up! -- and everything pulses to a fine conclusion. There are many moments of sheer Cocteaus beauty and power, including the title track, with its great chorus, and two spotlight Guthrie solos: "Fotzepolitic," a powerful number building to a rushing conclusion, and the album-ending "Frou Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires." Possessing the same climactic sense of drama past disc-closers as "Donimo" and "The Thinner the Air," it's a perfect way to end a perfect album." All Music Guide - Ned Raggett more
	Heaven Or Las Vegas New Import - CAD 3420 Sealed, latest run of the 2022 180gm remastered UK reissue. Custom hype sticker on shrink. Heaven or Las Vegas is pure luminosity, where shimmer turns to song and feeling outruns language. Robin Guthrie’s guitars glow in soft-focus halos, rhythms pulse with gentle confidence, and Elizabeth Fraser’s voice lifts everything skyward, ecstatic yet intimate. Tracks like “Cherry-coloured Funk” and the title cut radiate warmth without losing mystery. Effortless, euphoric, and endlessly inviting, this is dream-pop perfected, light captured and held. more

	The Pink Opaque New Import - CAD 3509 Sealed, latest run of the 180gm EU reissue. Remastered from HD audio. Custom hype sticker on shrink. The Pink Opaque is less a compilation than a carefully tuned portal.

	Treasure Used - LP - CAD 412 New, Unplayed 1984 Original With Custom Inner Sleeve (New-Old Shop Stock From The Beat In Sacramento). “The Opening Two Numbers Of Treasure Are Simply Flawless, Starting With "Ivo," Where Gently Strummed Guitar And Low Bass Support Fraser's Singing; Then Suddenly Added, Astonishing Chimes And Steady Percussion Build Up To A Jaw-Dropping Guthrie Guitar Solo. Topping That Would Be Hard For Anyone, But In "Lorelei," The Twins Do It, With An Introductory, Breathtaking Guitar Surge Leading Into One Of Fraser's Best Vocals, Compelling In Both Its Heavenly And Earthly Tones And Rolls. Not A Word May Be Understandable, But It Isn't Necessary, While The Music, Driven On By A Pounding Rhythm, Is As Perfect A Justification Of Digital Delay Pedals And The Like As Can Be Found. As Treasure Continues, The Accomplished Variety Is What Stands Out The Most, Whether It Be The Gentle, Futuristic-Medieval Pluckings On "Beatrix," The Understated Moody Washes And Fraser Whispers On "Otterley," The Upbeat Guitar Lines Of "Aloysius," Or The Slightly Jazzy Touches On "Pandora." The Concluding Number Ends The Record On The Peak With Which It Began. "Donimo" Starts With A Mysterious Mix Of Mock Choir Sounds, Ambient Echoes And Noises, And Fraser's Careful Singing Before Finally Exploding Into One Last Heavenly Wash Of Powerful Sound; Guthrie's Guitar, Raymonde's Steady Bass, And Drum Machine Smashes Provide The Perfect Bed For Fraser's Final, Exultant Vocals. Treasure Lives Up To Its Title And Then Some As A Thorough And Complete Triumph.” – Ned Raggett, All Music Guide more
