#GreatAlbums1990s - #CocteauTwins - #HeavenOrLasVegas (1990). The 80s weren't quite over in 1990, but the Twins provided an apt transition as their willowy dreampop inspired the shoegaze bands that formed the 90s' first distinctive movement. Elizabeth Fraser's vocals became easier to parse, and the sugar-high hooks of "Iceblink Luck" and "Wolf in the Breast" made the disc accessible without sacrificing the enigmatic spirit of the Twins' "cherry-coloured funk."
