Violaine 3.44 see Milk & Kisses * * * * *
Tranquil Eye 4.25 see Faye Wong * * * *
Having heard Faye Wong's version long before, this is not that different. A gentle song, with little effects, relying on tenderly layered vocals.
Smile 3.52 The song is very ethereal and  yet suggestive because of that synthesiser noise that sounds like a dripping tap and pours all over Smile. * * * *
One of those hard to find singles from the Milk & Kisses album. As both b-songs are lovely, it may be worth the search though. I think everything connected to Milk & Kisses is absolutely brilliant, it feels like the Cocteau Twins really squeezed out the last ideas, making the most varied and beautiful music of their career. e-mail me Back To Atlas
