Victorialand is a great album to get your wisdom out to.
It's like a aural anaesthetic

I haven't played any of their records in ages, but they always make it through the purges.

I could do without some of the lyrics, but most of the time I pretend she's singing in Kobaiian and it's OK.

Me too, actually. And I was using a fairly spent needle at the time, so now my copy of this LP has a disproportionate degree of wear three tracks in. (It's practically useless.)

All in all I'm not that huge of a Cocteau Twins fan but I'll occasionally put on one of their records or CDs for some nice ambience. And then of course there are those songs of theirs, usually at least three to an album, that demand to played again and again, evoking a womb-like timeless state, heavily steeped in chorus and reverb.
