Cocteau Twins were a Scottish post-punk/ethereal/dream pop band formed in 1981 in Grangemouth, Falkirk. Known for their unique sound and ethereal vocals, the band captivated audiences with their dreamlike melodies and atmospheric music. With a career spanning over 15 years, Cocteau Twins left an indelible mark on the music industry before disbanding in 1997. Their innovative approach to music continues to inspire artists today.
Throughout their career, Cocteau Twins released numerous critically acclaimed albums, including "Treasure," "Heaven or Las Vegas," and "Blue Bell Knoll." Their distinct blend of post-punk, ethereal, and dream pop genres created a mesmerizing sonic landscape that set them apart from other bands of their time.
Cocteau Twins' enchanting vocals provided by Elizabeth Fraser added another layer of beauty to their music. Her angelic voice combined with Robin Guthrie's atmospheric guitar work and Simon Raymonde's melodic bass lines created a truly magical listening experience.

originally released in november 2005 in a limited edition box set, these two double cd sets offer a unique view of the cocteau twins musical journey from the perspective of all their single / ep releases. volume one covers the 4ad era (1982-1990) and volume two documents the mercury / capitol years (1993-1996). the 4ad material was previously available in a 10xcd box set which had a cd for each single, though this set features alternative mixes of 'pearly-dewdrops drops' and 'aikea-guinea'. volume two has never been anthologised and has tracks that were limited as singles, as well as the christmas tracks 'frosty the snowman' and 'winter wonderland'. a completists dream.
