Hi all,

I've been revisiting my Cocteau's albums and CDs....phwoar, what a unique and heavenly sound.

I realise that the guitar sound is not entirely original but lordy, it's alluring. I'm talking about the heavily modulated/delayed guitar sound as heard on mid- to late-period Cocteau Twins releases (not their earlier Banshees sound-alike stuff, but the stuff from say Aikea Guinea/Blue Bell Knoll and onwards).... very lush and almost pad-like.

Anyone got any ideas as to how Robin G's guitar was processed?

Thanks people, all the best.
