Cocteau Twins: Four-Calendar Cafe

This was what I wanted all along, the re-issue of Cocteau Twins' Four-Calendar Cafe. I used to own this release in its cassette tape form which was over-played till it crinkled at the sides. Today I happen to come across a remastered copy (about time) & it was no holding back.

To many cult followers, Heaven or Las Vegas was the seminal Cocteau Twin's release, showcasing some of the best Robin Guthrie guitar noodlings; that's undeniable but FCC was the band's genius release in terms of melody hooks- even Faye Wong rerecorded some of the tunes found here (I've no obligations to like them...).
