"Treasure" is the third studio album by Scottish alternative rock band Cocteau Twins. It was released on 1 November 1984 by 4AD. With this album, the band settled on what would, from then on, be their primary lineup: vocalist Elizabeth Fraser, guitarist Robin Guthrie and bass guitarist Simon Raymonde. This new lineup also coincided with the development of the ethereal sound associated with the band's music.

Fernando Rennis - Un glorioso fallimento. L'eterno presente della Factory Records eBooks & eLearning

Posted by Karabas91 at July 22, 2022

Nel 1992, dopo più di settanta artisti e quasi trecento dischi pubblicati, la Factory Records dichiarava bancarotta. I suoi quattordici anni di vita, caratterizzati dalla gestione passionale ed economicamente scellerata dei suoi soci, hanno scandito una storia in cui convivono gli estremi dell’esperienza umana: il fallimento, l’estasi, la morte, l’edonismo. I suoi album hanno fatto storia, le sue grafiche sono finite nei musei e in passerella; è riuscita a trasformare una cupa città industriale dell’Inghilterra settentrionale in un florido centro culturale che aveva il suo cuore nel club Haçienda. “Un glorioso fallimento” racconta l’epopea e i protagonisti della Factory spulciando il suo catalogo e immergendosi nella sua estetica, camminando per le strade di quella Manchester che ha influenzato l’etichetta ed è cambiata al suo ritmo..

The Innocence Mission - See You Tomorrow (2020) Music

WEB FLAC (tracks) - 190 MB | Tracks: 11 | 34:51 min
Style: Indie Folk | Label: Bella Union

Beloved Pennsylvania band The Innocence Mission, led by Karen and Don Peris, return with the exquisite and touching album See You Tomorrow. First track The Brothers Williams Said with Karen's stunning, heart-aching voice and a lyric both moving and profound, speaks to the sense of misunderstanding or labelling that can happen to people who have a quiet nature. Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins calls the arrangements on See You Tomorrow "massively special- the beauty, the way the album builds to it's' striking finale in I Would Be There is bewilderingly lovely." See You Tomorrow touches on the major changes that happen in the life of a family, and the "intense desire to hold the present moment of togetherness". Sufjan Stevens has called their music "moving and profound. What is so remarkable about Karen Peris' lyrics are the economy of words, concrete nouns which come to life with melody."

Anneli Drecker - Rocks and Straws (2015) {Rune Grammofon} Music

Anneli Dreckerґs ethereal voice first became known through the music of her band, Bel Canto, back in the late 80s. Only 17, Anneli left her Arctic hometown of Tromsш with band members Geir Jenssen (aka Biosphere) and Nils Johansen, for the pulsating indie scene in Bruxelles. Signed to the legendary Belgian label Crammed Discs, Bel Canto captured the zeitgeist of European electronic music. Their first two albums, "White Out Conditions" and "Birds Of Passage", were released internationally and won the Norwegian grammy award three times. With her characteristic singing style, often compared to other wonderful singers such as Lisa Gerrard and Liz Frasier, Anneli has collaborated with artists such as Hector Zazou, Jah Wobble, Gavin Friday, DJ Krush, Tim Simenon, Simon Raymonde of Cocteau Twins, Guy Sigsworth and Ketil Bjшrnstad.

This Mortal Coil - Filigree & Shadow (1986/2018) [Official Digital Download 24/96] Vinyl & HR

The second album by the 4AD collective headed by label founder Ivo Watts-Russell distills the This Mortal Coil concept somewhat. There's more of a core group now, featuring Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins, producer John Fryer, arranger Martin McCarrick, and Watts-Russell himself, backing a variety of mostly female singers. The double album is nearly half instrumentals (all of them given the traditional 4AD treatment of layers of echo, reverb, and phasing), most of which are pleasant enough but not particularly memorable.

Much has been made of Vashti Bunyan's 1969 unheard-at-the-time Just Another Diamond Day. Produced by Joe Boyd, it featured the singer and songwriter backed by a small string quartet. Discouraged by the sleazy ethics of the music biz, she retired and concentrated on raising a family, gardening, and other productive matters…
