hello! i'm new to the boards. i've discovered the entire cocteau twins catalogue recently and i'm amazed by their music right now. i knew some of the singles but i never gave them a chance, and now that i've done i've realized what i missed for so long.

anyway, i thought it would be nice to start in this thread. these are mine, i could say in no particular order:

01.Pearly Dewdrops' Drops
02.The Spanglemaker
03.Ivo (BBC sessions)
04.In Our Angelhood
05.Heaven Or Las Vegas
06.Half-Gifts (acoustic)
07.Pepper Tree
08.Sugar Hiccup
09.Wax & Wane
10.Summerhead
11.Hitherto
12.Rilkean Heart

I'll try this, but realize only #1-#4 are really where they belong, the rest sort of trickle in. They are weighted more by my poor memory rather than significance...

1 Ooze Out And Away, Onehow
2 Crushed
3 Love's Easy Tears
4 Pur
5 Orange Appled
6 Beatrix
7 Watchlar
8 Fotzepolitic
9 Pitch The Baby
10 Treasure hiding
11 Heaven Or Las Vegas
12 Lorelei
13 Hitherto
14 Those Eyes, That Mouth
15 Suckling The Mender

These, and a few others, are what I have on me wee little MP3 player...
