The second EP from the famous dream pop trio Cocteau Twins is another nice improvement on their style, one that had been steadily improving on every release from their inception at the time of this release. Obviously, opener "Sugar Hiccup", one of the greatest songs the band ever put to wax, is the highlight here with Liz Fraser's unforgettable vocals dominating the whole thing, but it's far from the only worthwhile song here. "From The Flagstones" is one of the best non-LP songs the band ever did, and the ending duo of "Hitherto" and "Because Of Whirl-Jack" is a great one. Really, this and their second LP, Head Over Heels, is when they began to come into their own, and thus, it really shouldn't be missed.
