Alphabet Beats #017: The Letter C is for...Cocteau Twins

C is for...

Not totally knowing what lies ahead on Alphabet Beats I'm certain I can say this without any fear of recrimination, today's featured artist released some of the most sublime music I think I've ever heard between 1982-1996. It's not what you would imagine would ever come out of Grangemouth in Scotland.

There is a sense of pure delightfulness listening to any piece of music by the Cocteau Twins. Each album, EP or Single was like the work of a master artist creating the most exquisite pictures with the gentlest touch of the brush to canvas and thus unveiling colours that you could not even begin to imagine that somehow manage to glide with precision through your sound system and leave you aching for more!
