There are so many Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance albums, where do I start?
The Dead Can Dance compilation A Passage In Time might be a good place to start, although some dislike its selection. The only Cocteau Twins compilation is The Pink Opaque, which only covers the period 1982-1984 and is also out of print and hard to find. Perhaps a good recommendation is to cite the list’s collective favorites as determined by vote in 1994. Our favorite Cocteau Twins albums are Treasure and Victorialand, and our favorite Dead Can Dance albums are Within the Realm of a Dying Sun and The Serpent’s Egg. You might like to see either the Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance web sites for further recommendations, which have discographies, reviews and some song snippets.
