Edited 9 months agoI think the reason why the Band hated is Alan Rankines massive footprint over it.
The drums and the bass are straight off an Associates record. In fact I have strong suspicions that Rankine is playing the bass, not Heggie. Very sophisticated playing.
He may even have programmed the drums, or conceived the pattern.
Also I think it was a real push, inc hiring Rankine, to have a hit. Maybe not by the band themselves.
It's so 80s alternative dance.
thankfully they got left to their own devices after this. -

The single the very band loves to hate to the present day. While it may seem the most untypical of the Cocteau Twins' releases - mainly due to the fact the production duties were handed over to Alan Rankine of The Associates (who, in his own right, did a splendid job here) - it is by all means a true, furious, rock solid offering.
Of the two officially known versions of the title song, the 12" version fares way better due to a longer intro, aided with the amazingly intense "Laugh Lines" and "Hazel" (the latter featured also in the group's earlier 1983 Peel Session, that version backed by the amazing Gordon Sharp).
