It's pretty much a given that the majority of music sounds better at a high volume, but I definitely (at least in my case) think this applies to Cocteau Twins. The intensity seems to really come out, don't you think?
Today I blasted "Persephone" at an excessivly high volume, and good God, it blew me away.

Sat, May 28, 2005 - 10:56 PMPersephone- maybe my favorite Cocteau song- it would be if Spangle Maker didnt exist.
I must admit that I missed that soft-loud contrast of the earlier records. Starting with Moon and the Melodies there was a bit too much sugar and not enough salt. I loved that stuff too, but it was the contrast between Liz and the pounding music in the background that cast its spell on me. -

Garlands was my first Cocteaus record, and while not my favorite, it's impact on my taste in music was immeasurable. Don't get me wrong: Simon Raymonde is brilliant- but Hedgie's bass on that album is TREMENDOUS. Wax and Wane alone makes it one of the best "bassist's albums" ever. -

Mon, May 30, 2005 - 4:05 AMThanks for mentioning that, Caleb. I'm a bassist and have always loved the basswork on their albums. The bass lines are like entire songs unto themselves with simply beautiful melodies and rhythms.
