It's true.

Their new compilation 'Lullabies To Violaine' contains a song, 'From The Flagstones' where you can actually, for the most part, understand what Liz Fraser is singing.

The band were unavailable for comment, but a source, completely unaffiliated with either Cocteau Twins or 4AD Records claims it was a mistake and it should never have happened.

Many fans throughout the world were shocked at this revelation and one fan from Caracas, Venezuela suffered a severe stroke and is now hospitalized. He is not expected to recover.

    Yeah, well I made most of that up. :)

    The bit about the song is true though - you can understand the words, which is a bit strange if you're familiar with Liz Fraser's unique vocal style. :)

    I've always understood every word. She's just singing them backwards, that's all! :p

    The new album is so amazing by the way. I bought it on Saturday and I've been listening to it almost non-stop since. :)

    If you're a Cocteau Twins fan, then you owe it to yourself to buy a copy. :)

    I am and have all their work on CDs, so why bother with a new compilation CD?, is there anything new on it? or do they need some money for Christmas?

    I have a couple of 12 inches but I don't have everything as I was too young when they were in their prime. I do own all their albums though. It does include the Snow EP, which was deleted a week after it was originally released, so it's unlikely you even have that. Plus all the songs have been remastered.

    The website is much improved.

    There is a dictionary that explains words like Violaine, Tishbite, Bluebeard and Iceblink.

    Also links to some cool videos of Liz.

    I was waiting for that. Thought it be Mel that would say it though. :)
