Beautiful Noise

Robert Smith: I mean I really fell in love with the whole, with the sound, which kind of like went on, I mean it was as much Liz's voice as Robin's production, the two were kind of like seamless, and I was always really intrigued, they made it sound so effortless, that's what attracted me the most. It was kind of, the first time I'd heard this sort of you know, it was described in various ways. It was ethereal and all the other adjectives but it was really centrist, it kind of drew you in, and effortless, and you just found yourself immersed in this sound. And I played the Cocteaus like relentlessly, you know when you get to a period and you play the same albums over and over again. I could probably play most of Treasure and I've never sat down and learned it, but I just, I know it so well. In fact that was the album I played as I was getting ready for my wedding, I played it to myself as I was getting dressed on my wedding day, because it is the most romantic sound I'd ever heard.
