Shoey's album of the Month - May

Was going to go with The Horrors, until I came across this piece of 80's nostalgia. Robin Guthrie (the plucker from the Cocteau Twins) has found someone else to sing some nonsense vocals to his tunes - none other than John Foxx of Ultravox. (remember his solo hit single "Underpants" from back in the day?). Here's a little taste:
Estrellita
& lest we forget:
The Spangle Maker
Underpants

I really like that Estrellita track, Shoey, but then I've always been a big Cocteau Twins fan. He's been a busy boy of late, Robin Guthrie, doing this very splendid mix of a tune called Cabal by New York band, School Of Seven Bells too.

There's cheeky download of it here:

I was already intrigued reading the music press reviews for this, so thanks - in advance of my actually getting home to a machine I can access it from - for posting, Shoey.
