Cocteau Twins- Victorialand (1986)


Victorialand is the Cocteau Twins’ fourth album. The title refers to a region of Antarctica.Beautiful- beautiful music beautifully produced and beautifully packaged. A sparse ambient sound, this is a fantasic ‘chill out’ record. Ripped from vinyl at the correct speed of 45 rpm… I had a friend who bought this without hearing the Cocteau Twins (honestly!) to see what the fuss was about and told me that it was an unlistenable industrial dirge … as indeed it is at 33 1/3 rpm
Elizabeth Fraser – vocals
Robin Guthrie – guitar
