The Cocteau Twins' first release following their exodus from the 4AD stable, Four-Calendar Cafe is also, tellingly, their most earthbound effort; as with Heaven or Las Vegas, the emphasis here is on substance as much as style - 'Evangeline', 'Bluebeard' and 'Know Who You Are at Every Age' continue the trio's advance into more accessible melodic and lyrical ground without sacrificing even an ounce of their trademark ethereality. Out-of-print domestically. Universal.
