As the editor for the Cocteau Twins movie script, there are many details which are wrong, but many assume this is correct; however, the three have never authorized, confirming, or even denied the many claims which was posted by 4AD. The three simply ignore many claims, because they dislike media attention. Elizabeth is from Grangemouth, Scotland; but the band didn't originate from there and Elizabeth hated it there, so they all moved to just outside Edinburgh. "The Voice of God" was a proclamation from the Japanese Blues/Folk music singer/songwriter Kan Mikami ― Numerous music magazines adopted the phrase without giving Mikami credit. Robin walked into 4AD Records on a hunch, with a homemade cassette in hand and Ivo Watts-Russell invited him inside for a quick chat. Ivo was immediately enamored by Robin's confidence, but he heard Elizabeth's vocals, pushed way towards the back and Ivo wanted to hear her. Leesa Beals (aka., "mmmender") was the one person they implicitly trusted. Beals made the very first Cocteau Twins website; arranged the first Cocteau Twins Forum (I'm an original member); created CocteauFest; and she even acted as an impromptu secretary; however, throughout the years, she documented every possible story, regarding their bands histrionics. Leesa was diagnosed with cancer and she passed away, so Elizabeth withdrew her consent for a movie project. Elizabeth said, "I can't relive the pain". I'm seeking Elizabeth's permission to write a Cocteau Twins biography, so the debate will finally come to rest.
Thanks for commenting, a movie would have been amazing, for me this is a legendary band. My video is just a quick 10 minute overview with many omitted facts. The sources I had were the 4AD book and a bio that was posted many years ago on the web, it used to cover the entire history, but now only parts 1 and 2 seem to be up.
Cocteau Twins are one of the best bands ever and one of the most underrated too. So many have never heard them. And Elizabeth Fraser is the best female singer ever. What a voice.
I was head over heels in love with the Cocteau Twins since I first heard them on John Peel at the start of their journey. I own everything in the discography up to Heaven or Las Vegas. For some strange reason, I own nothing after that album, as much as I love it I guess I moved on to the Pixies, MBV, etc. Anyways I started listening again over the past few years and have fallen in love again
Sublime informe, y buenísimo el video de Tower Records de Belgrano. Te pregunto si la foto del minuto 4:41 es de tu archivo personal porque vi las otras fotos en un blog extranjero que recopila setlists y fotos de conciertos que dieron en todo el mundo pero esa foto que te indico solo la vi en este video. Tuviste la dicha de verlos en el '91 en el Teatro Opera? Saludos
Gracias por el comentario, las fotos las posteó alguien en un grupo de facebook, yo lamentablemente nunca los vi en vivo, pero si vi a Robin Guthrie solista en 2008 en Buenos Aires.
Perfect. Liz Fraser my Goddess

Wondering how you even found some of this info, don't remember seeing all of it on Wikipedia. I must vist some of those places
a good source is the 4AD book, facing the other way, there's also a short history at cocteautwins.com
Omg. The background music why??
Omg. it's cocteau twins music. Omg 😁
@@amateurmusicresearch1972 Well... Kind of. Based on that shitty disco/techno-ish mix, not really.
cocteau cover versions, so as to not get copyright strike...
No subtitulos?
si, tocar ruedita, subtitulos automaticos, elegir idioma
Background music is loud and annoying
buju buju
Yeah it is too loud and distracting. The information is good otherwise.
background music is annoying. so is the robot narrator
