Cocteau Twins - Stars And Topsoil: A Collection (1982-1990)

When they first emerged in the early 1980s, the Cocteau Twins were compared most often to Siouxsie & The Banshees, but in truth they never sounded like anyone, or anything else. Taken together, their nine albums, and sixteen EPs/singles, sound less like a band and more like an element of nature. Heaven Or Las Vegas was the last record the Cocteau Twins made for 4AD; they departed for Fontana, releasing two more albums (Four Calendar Café, and Milk And Kisses) before disbanding in 1996. Four years later, the 4AD retrospective Stars And Topsoil served as a reminder of the trio's uniquely bewitching music.
