Today I'll start a thread about a single fantastic album, by a band no one else cares about. Cocteau Twins released Blue Bell Knoll in 1988.

If you like it, listen to the rest of their albums, especially "Heaven or Las Vegas" and "Four Calendar Cafe." If you don't like it, go listen to something else. Either way I don't need to hear about it. I'm busy doing something else.

Fabulous. Cocteau Twins are great, for sure.

That's an interesting album, thanks for sharing such hidden treasures. I have never heard of them before. (Love their 'Release Names' like 'A kissed out red floatboat', excellent!)

I only have Victorialand and Treasure of this great band (and like many other records, still at my parents house, damn.)
Thanks for the tip, Pidsley.
