Heard 'Cherry Coloured Funk (Seefeel Mix) and was impressed.
These might be my kind of thing - any idea on a good starting point for their music?

Four Calendar Cafe - great album.
the vocal style is not everyones cup of tea. I hated it as a kid but grew into their style when my tastes broadened.

Re: Cocteau Twins?
They've been through different phases, with Liz singing in a made-up language in the first few records, then having proper English lyrics in the end. Robin Guthrie's tapes, pedals and overlays became more and more intricate. I would suggest the compilation "Stars & Topsoil" as a primer, only 6.49 at Amazon.
Four Calendar is one of my fave albums ever. Back then it was considered as a sign of their imminent demise, go figure.

Get Victorialand, Bought this when it came out in the early 90's and still sounds wonderful today. Garlands is edgy, Blue Bell Knoll probably their most well rounded.
