In 1986, Cocteau Twins reached new heights of ethereal beauty with 'Victorialand'. With Simon Raymonde working on 'This Mortal Coil', Liz Fraser and Robin Guthrie stripped things down to basics. What emerged is a sublime, atmospheric album featuring just guitar tracks and Liz's vocals. Their compositional genius shines through, though the use of pedals and effects masks the recording process. This is their most new - agey record before 'Blue Bell Knoll', and it has a stronger vibe than other albums in their catalog. They ditched the drum machine with Led Zep samples, creating a sound that has aged amazingly well. There's even saxophone by Richard Thomas of Dif Juz. The sleeve, designed by the legendary Vaughan Oliver, is both cool and underrated. Check out tracks like 'Lazy Calm' and 'Fluffy Tufts'. With the re - release of 'Victorialand' and 'Garlands', all Cocteau Twins' 4AD studio albums are back in print.
