Ok so I've been spinning this for a few days (like other Cocteau albums, had heard it in parts before but never closely) and oh my it is stunning

I've been going through that phase too this year Boney. They've overwhelmed me really. There hasn't been a day in weeks where I didn't spin this or Heaven Or Las Vegas.

Trif, I might have to hand this a 5. What a magical record. So very happy I checked it.

Y E S !!!
I for sure know you'll enjoy their others too, especially the highest rated ones (Heaven or Las Vegas, Blue Bell Knoll). Is this your first experience with them?
They're a very Luc group too, so I'm not at all surprised you like this.

Album Rating: 4.5

Haha you know me! This is like the 80s Souvlaki and every bit as gorgeous. This is my first, just checking the highest rated first before diving into the rest. I just love everything about this, it's so romantic.

Omg yes you're in for a wild ride. Have been going through the same process about a year ago and I'm super happy I did. Great decision man!
Also now we can bump all these threads together all the time YESSSSS!
