"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."

"Turbulent, romantic, and fiercely feminine, this album never fails to blow me away. I heard it for the first time as a teen reading Wuthering Heights and thought it was the perfect soundtrack for that book. And I stand by that. The sound is forceful, emotionally raw, and so very BIG. It is stylistically similar to gothic rock (powerful drums, jangly guitars, reverb reverb reverb) but much more sophisticated. This is probably my favourite album ever. No description can do it justice."
