    I saw the Robin Guthrie Trio perform in a small Istanbul club last week: I am lucky a friend told me about it at the last minute! It was one of the most memorable shows I have ever seen. I was in the front and probably had the most idiotic grin on my face!

    I've always loved Robin Guthrie's playing. The Cocteau twins always sounded like angels making music, very ethereal and atmospheric. This is great!

    A total legend. How many hundreds of hours must I have drifted in a luxuriuos void listening to his music and the heavenly voice of Elizabeth Fraser. Some people learn a craft but very few master it to a level of perfection so high as his guitar and effects. Genius.

      I listen to this song about 3 times a week. It gives me such goosebumps. And as cool as the studio version is, it doesn't have that magic that this version has. I was so inspired that I created a patch on my Boss GT1000 Core called "Monument" to try to replicate this sound, and am trying to learn the song as well.

    • @fractaljack
      @fractaljack หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@tomstegeman4344 Very cool. There are few things in this world that are truly iconic and this version of this song is one of them. How appropriate Robin titled it, "Monument".

    • @tomstegeman4344
      @tomstegeman4344 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @fractaljack I sometimes wonder if other people get goosebumps from this song or if I was alone. I'm sure lots of people would listen to this and go "wow that sounds pretty good", but I wonder if it hits them as deeply as it hits me. I guess there are others out there, people like you. Every person has different relationships with music and tastes that determine what songs hit their soul the hardest. Often when people play me their favorite songs, and tell me it hits them in their soul on a level they can't describe, I don't really relate. But this song feels like Robin made it for me, that he made it to make me cry tears of fire while I burn on a funeral pyre and ascend into nothingness.

    Incredible sound of guitar. Robin has an unic style, I saw him several time in solo and many times with Liz and Simone. I met him personally during a concert of violet Indiana on boat in Paris, he's very humble, he is the anti rockstar. His sound is like a cathedral, a pure perfect ethereal beauty as the poem of Beaudelaire, "oú tout n'est que beauté, luxe, calme et volupté". He opens with his guitar the door of another universes.

      Amen brother....I saw the Twins at a small college in Pennsylvania in the late 80s/early 90's and I knew then that it was a moment in Time I would carry with me forever. (And I am a metal-head guitar player) - Robin Guthrie is genius and also much more than that - he has the Soul of a True Artist and he remains uncompromized. A rare feat in Today's entertainment industry

    Saw RG in D.C. this year, opening for Brendan Perry (Dead Can Dance). Robin created this growing and enveloping wall of sound that filled every pore of the small venue we were in. It was nearly overwhelming to the senses and a complete experience, needing no voice added in. Really amazing stuff.
