Otterly.
Like all Cocteau Twins albums, Treasure is a magical, dreamy ride. Few bands have ever combined delicate guitar work and atmospheric electronics as well or as seamlessly. Liz Fraser is usually the face of the band, but Robin Guthrie is one of the more important guitarists of the era.
Really adore this album, like Mancsoulsister said "mystical"
my copy ends on Otterley though because Donimo is just rubbish.
Nice to see that more people here are realizing that Pandora is such a good song. I like the soft vocalizing and dreamy percussion arrangement on this song.
A mystical treat for the ears... beautiful!
They are the favorite band of Chinese alternative-music singer-songwriter Faye Wong. Guess it says something about the alternative nature of their music and Elizabeth's cold voice. I really like it a lot despite some weak tracks. Anyway it's hard to find any other acts quite like them on nowadays' record market.
Takes you away, doesn't it? Magical album. Really good guitar too.
"Ivo" is a classic. Her voice is amazing, so supple yet strong.
This 1984 album laid the groundwork for the development of post-rock electronica for the next 25 years and you can hear the Cocteau Twin's influence on nearly every contemporary electronica/dance band. The atmospheric sound, crafted around Robin Guthrie's creative use of distorted guitars, tape loops,and echo boxes; and the hypnotic, ethereal vocal stylings of Liz Frazier have become so common in electronic music that we often foget it all started with the Cocteau Twins.
What a find this is. This album feels and sounds like magic. It shouldn't be possible to makes sounds this beautiful, but it occured.
