awesome,

This review is from: Heaven Or Las Vegas (Audio CD)
Initially, the glacial textures conjured by guitarist Robin Guthrie on Heaven or Las Vegas may seem like frozen artifacts from a forgotten shoegazer past. But behind its icy exterior lies the album's beating heart-- a core of ungodly gorgeous songs that is every bit as moving and relevant today as it ever was. Elizabeth Fraser's vocal performance, more straightforward here than on any of the Cocteaus' 80s output, is strikingly nuanced, imbuing the record's haunting melodies with an entirely unique and entrancing character. The songs themselves are remarkably complex, weaving crisp electronic beats, monolithic synthesizers, effects-laden guitar, and Fraser's stately and angelic voice into a seamless sonic velour.

Fav rock band of all time,
By Drew Griffin (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heaven Or Las Vegas (Audio CD)
Ok here it is this is a band that has changed music forever. Elizabeth Frazer has the most angelic and beautiful voice I've ever heard. I thankfully got to see them in concert 3 times before they broke up in 98. I heard them when I was 16 when I went into record bar and found "Loves Easy Tears" and loving the cover art took the cassette home and the rest is history I was instantly a fan once I played it. I think all the members of the band are still making music but it is sad that they aren't working together. This work has an almost visual feel to it because of the way it makes your body feel as it pulls you into it's web. This album and "Four Calendar Cafe" are my fav twins albums but every album is worth purchasing. Note make sure you get This Mortal Coil because the twins have a few tracks on one of those compilations. It'll end in tears is the name of the cd I think.

hooray for the twins,
By Brian R Yandle "Brian R Yandle" (High Point, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heaven Or Las Vegas (Audio CD)
i can't say much about the remaster because i haven't honestly ordered my own copy yet nor have i the pleasure of hearing it but this is one of my favorite cocteau twins album of all time next to treasure or blue bell knoll. from the opening track of "cherry colored funk" to the closing "frou frou foxes", you can't help but feel a bit light-headed after hear liz fraser's beautiful vocals. not only are the vocals dreamy & sweet but the electrical arrangements here are to die for. let's just say i played this album for so many years( and still do listen to it on a regular basis), it's really hard to believe i've had this album in my collection for over 13 years. i don't really catch half of the words on this cd but i could care less. for all i know, cocteau twins may have made up their own words but the end result is definately enticing & plausible even if that be the case. having said that, this goes on the top of my list as one of the best cds to own in the nineties which still sounds as great today as it did when i first bought it. no favorite tracks unfortunately to list as all of them serve their purpose & each one is simply gorgeous. if you haven't already heard the cocteau twins or have never bought one of their albums, i believe this is the first one you should purchase & the remastered version sounds heavenly to me. enjoy.
