Crucial Cocteaus on Culture Clash Radio

Don's selections cross time, space and genre, including a piece of Crucial Vinyl from Heaven or Las Vegas, released by Cocteau Twins in 1990.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include Crucial Vinyl from Cocteau Twins.

Each week, as well as handpicking key new releases and classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica and beyond, Don highlights a cherished album from his own collection. He explains why it means so much to him and features three key tracks. This week it's Heaven or Las Vegas released in 1990 by Cocteau Twins.

Don says, "I first heard of Cocteau Twins through their fifth album 1988's Blue Bell Knoll, and, I got to say, it really was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. I was so taken by the instrumentation, production and Elizabeth Fraser's surreal vocal delivery, that I immediately went out and bought all their previous albums - that's how struck I was! The release of Heaven or Las Vegas was the icing on the cake - it truly is a thing of beauty.".
