COCTEAU TWINS ? Lullabies To Violaine singles and extended plays 1982 ? 1996. For the first time all the non-album tracks from across the Cocteau Twins' entire career have been compiled together and offer a unique view of their musical journey from the perspective of all their single / EP releases which incorporate most of their best known tracks. This is an unusual de-luxe package containing all 4 CD's in a worldwide limited edition of 15, 000. The discs are contained in a fold-out package made of a material that itself sounds like a Cocteau Twins title ? 'Curious Soft Touch Milk'. It's all very tactile, minimal and V23. The 4AD material was previously available in a 10 x CD box set which had a CD for each single, though this set features alternative mixes of 'Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops' and 'Aikea-Guinea'. Volume Two has never been anthologised and has tracks that were limited as singles as well as the Christmas tracks 'Frosty The Snowman' and 'Winter Wonderland'.
