CT 'Bluebeard' on Mojo CD April 2010 issue

[staxowax]

The latest April 2010 issue of Mojo magazine has the customary free CD titled 'Mojo Presents...Dream Pop' which includes 'Bluebeard' by Cocteau Twins [track 5].

Pages 6 & 7 has a feature on the CD. The Cocteau Twins' section says:

"If previous tracks possessed a nagging familiarity with their plangent guitars and soaring vocal melodiesthis 1993 track will hopefully lay the nag to rest. The further we move away from the music made by Robin Guthrie, Elizabeth Fraser and Simon Raymonde between 1983 and 1993 the more impressive it sounds, a new path of modern pop that so many would follow."

Staxowax.

don't know what to say other than I need a cup of tea - "nagging familiarity" - "lay the nag to rest" - "the more impressive it sounds " :lala::crying::tongueout:

The CD isnt bad but the magazine is shite - I had to look at the front cover for the date while reading it as I thought Id been transposed back to the mid 70s - someone needs to tell the writers that prog rock is well and truly dead - even the dancing on its grave has stopped
