Free Music Review: All Those Precious Vinyl EPs . . .
Hit: 5 Stars
After all this time, I finally have those early non-album Cocteau tracks from the 80's on two tight, pristine and affordable CDs (with some notable exceptions - see the review below by Laurence Upton who offers detailed commentary on exactly which songs and different versions made the final cut).
I expect the reason it took so long for this compilation to come out was out of deference to the serious fans who painstakingly collected all of these songs. Some people are no doubt unhappy that some of these previously rare songs have become so readily available, but I think they should drop the elitist attitude and be happy that more people are able to enjoy this great music. I myself had a few of these EPs on vinyl, but I much prefer hearing them on CD without all those noisy dust particles I could never get out of the grooves.
This collection effectively traces the band's evolution from their darker, harder-edged beginnings to the gorgeous, lush atmospheres of their peak and on to the more polished, pop-friendly sounds they would produce by the end of the decade. Some songs here are clearly better than others, but great ones abound ("Hitherto," "Pepper-Tree," "Pink Orange Red," etc.), representing the Twins at their very best. Plus, it's just really cool having such an essential document of the Cocteau Twins' history at my fingertips in such a compact little package. Therefore, I rate LULLABIES TO VIOLAINE, VOLUME 1 five stars.
