Craig Hood's acoustic guitar and voice arrangement of the Cocteau twins beautiful song half-gifts from the 1996 Milk and kisses album.<br /><br />I added harmonies, remixed the sound and sharpened the original video which can be seen here :<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEep5dljpqs<br /><br />The guitar arrangement is a close copy of the bass and synth in the original version.<br /><br />I first got into the Cocteau twins in 1982 when their first album "Garlands" came out.<br />I've got loads of their early stuff on vinyl, and I used to take my 12" version of peppermint pig down to my local disco for the dj to play, so I probably helped a few more locals get into them too.<br />I grew up just across the water from the Cocteau twins home town of Grangemouth.<br />I also played the drums in a few bands in the early 80's and my drumming was definitely influenced by the Cocteau twins.<br /><br />Check out Craig Hood at :<br />http://www.craighood.com<br /><br />Check out Cocteau twins at<br />http://www.cocteautwins.com/index.html
