Hey, guess what, I play sax too (tenor, though; Richard Thomas plays an alto). This was a bear to mix and edit, so you'd better like it, haha. There are additional overdubs, and also rerecorded patches. I'm awfully rusty on sax.
Man, your channel is a "Treasure". I've just bought a guitar and I will try to play Cocteau Twins studying your videos. I'm big fan since 1987, love Robin Guthrie sound. Thank you a lot!
I really like your stuff, your passion and how you figure the songs have been played in the actual way...really creative! not easy at all to discern all the guitar lines in Cocteau Twins.
i got much respect for this recreation. helped me so much with doing my own. saved so much time, but don't have the sax. had to midi a synth to get as close as i can. but man he nailed the sax
Thank You for that video! Im addicted to Victorialand so it was very interesting to see how "simple" the songs are. Its just, put layers of layers of chords with a lot of effect pedals. Love your video! The dog walking by in the background at the end was funny. I know how it is to try to make a video with a pet at home. 😊
(spanish translator, please) Estaba escuchando versiones de "Sugar Hiccup" y de repente pensé "existirá alguna versión de Lazy Calm en youtube?"...y estoy aquí, escuchandote (2:35) y es tan bella la emoción! Gracias por esto Saludos desde Chile (el fin del mundo?), de parte de un fan de Cocteau Twins/y, en especial, de su disco Victorialand/y muy, muy en especial, de Lazy Calm. (cuantos inviernos viajando, cuanta vida con esta Música resonando en el cuerpo)
:O otro fan de Cocteau Twins Chileno!! que impresionante, saludos compatriota, lo mas bello es que te entiendo perfectamente, cuando voy al Sur, y esta lloviendo, me encanta mirar por la ventana mientras escucho el Blue Bell Knoll, o el Milk and Kisses, es lo mejor :)
Cuando vi tu comentario es como si yo lo hubiera escrito de hecho también para mí es especial Victorialand y muy en especial lazy calm que agradable ver personas con los mismos gustos, saludos
*DUDE!!! That was insanely good. You did Cocteau Twins justice, and when it cut to you playing the sax I knew you were about to fuck my shit UP! You can’t hear, but I am standing and applauding your efforts!*
Great sax playing too Micah, wonderful stuff all round. Elizabeth's voice is the beautiful icing on the Cocteaus cake of course! But it's great to appreciate the stunning instrumental aspect of Victorialand...and wow you do just that, thanks 👌💜
Tim Foley Thanks! Yeah, it was Richard Thomas, the drummer from Dif Juz, who contributed sax, on this as well as a couple of tracks on "The Moon and the Melodies." He and Simon Raymonde actually just recently collaborated on an album.
What?!? And then you pull out a sax?? teh awesoem This is my favorite CT album You're really good at this. How did it take me so long to find your channel?
I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years and recently came across Robin Guthrie. I’m in complete awe of his work, both with Cocteau Twins, his solo work, and his masterpieces (imo) with Harold Budd. I’m dying to learn his music. Do you have any sources for tabs? I’m looking for inspiration and Robin is it for me. I appreciate your help. Cheers
I just learn by ear so I don't have tabs, but you might be interested in my CT guitar tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-thsq2zpgz20.html
