Album Description
Available in:
Stars And Topsoil is a compilation album by the Scottish rock group Cocteau Twins, released on the 4AD label in October 2000. The album features tracks released between 1982 and 1990, covering every Cocteau Twins album from Garlands to Heaven or Las Vegas.
User Album Review
From their first album, Garlands, released in 1982, to 1996’s Milk & Kisses, the Cocteau Twins have skilfully developed their craft, the waves of layered guitars engulfing the exceptional voice of Liz Fraser, to the point where it became an instrument in its own right. To add to the mystery, Liz has, over the years, perfected her own language, in which a few English words only would filter. She has also given the strangest titles to her songs, sometimes using first names, on Treasure, or butterfly names, on Tiny Dynamine and Echoes In A Shallow Bay.
Stars & Topsoil compiles tracks taken from nearly every single EP or album released by the band on 4AD, and follows last year’s BBC Sessions, released on Robin Guthrie's and Simon Raymonde’s label Bella Union. The eighteen tracks, in chronological order, demonstrate more than ever how the Cocteau’s universe has remained so tightly sealed over the years. Ignoring fashions, Liz Fraser, Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde have remained consistent in their art, faithful to their original sound.
Stars & Topsoil includes some of the finest moments ever recorded. Sugar Hiccup, Pearly-Dewdrops’ Drops, Pale Clouded White, the magnificent Lazy Calm, with its icy saxophone, Orange Appled or Iceblink Luck are as many reminders that the music produced by the Cocteau Twins is breathtaking, jubilant and peaceful. It is timeless.
