Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (Black Vinyl) folk given the stridency of Kempf’s

given the stridency of Kempf’s tone

then they were torn apart again by personal and musical issues

It showcases Mort’s many moods: sweet

the inadequacies of technology

High expectations for the album were soon exceeded

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas (Black Vinyl) folk given the stridency of Kempf’sFrom the start, Heaven is simply fantastic: on Cherry Coloured Funk, Guthrie's inimitable guitar work chimes leading a low key but forceful rhythm, while Raymonde's grand bass work fleshes it out. Fraser simply captivates; her vocals are the clearest, most direct they've ever been, purring with energy and life. There are many moments of sheer Cocteaus beauty and power, including the title track, with its great chorus. A near perfect album.
