In Marlowe's Best Day of My Life thread, someone recommended a track named "Tishbite" by the Cocteau Twins. I downloaded it and quite liked it.
I'd like to hear some more. Does anyone have any recommendations? Not albums, just individual tracks. I'm on dialup, so if I download a few more tracks and like them then I might buy an album.
Ta!

tracks to check out (my favs):
oomingmak five ten fiftyfold persephone cherry-coloured funk fotzepolitic frou-frou foxes in midsummer fire seekers who are lovers violaine wax and wane but i'm not
this is a variety of tracks from the early 80s to the mid 90s, so you'll get a pretty good idea of which album from which period you like best. hope you find anything to your liking. :)

Lorelei is one of the best things I've ever heard, so precious. In fact, Treasure is top loaded, a lot of my favorite Cocteau Twins tracks are on there... Ivo is spiffy. Moon and Melodies being a close second, weirdly enough... very ethereal sound.

treasure is my favourite.
garlands if you want something other worldly with a hard edge,
victorialand for ethereal.
bluebell knoll is beautiful.
heaven or las vegas is in my opinion, their last good album.
i don't really dig 4 calendar cafe. it's lost the 'edge' if you ask me.

Don't forget to check out Dead Can Dance and Lisa Gerrard, on the same label and just as awesome.
