After the Punk Kingdom, the noise of the elusive wordplay of such stunning beauty...
The smash of the gently guitar: it was the sensation I had the first time I listened to Cocteau Twins. It was the birth of a new musical aura which become a phenomenon of fluctuating images ignoring prevailing music trends.
Liz Fraser and her voice: a siren spoke a new musical esperanto: eclipsing all possible meanings, her voice was beyond any recognizable musical frontier. Meaning in pop lyrics was beautifully useless for the first time.
Speak no Evil, by Cocteau Twins (7" Vinyl Flexidisc, free with "Vinyl Magazine" #21 January 1983)
