Along with its companion EP, Sunburst and Snowblind, Head Over Heels fairly established the trademark “Cocteau” sound, and both met with generally positive responses in the music media and achieved number one spots on the UK Independent charts. Although over time most people would come to expect this sort of freshness from the Cocteau Twins, Head Over Heels is the result of much improvisation and experimentation, with Robin developing his own unique bass style. This musical exploration is evident with such diverse songs as “Multifoiled,” with its jazz and rock-a-billy influences, and the punk and new wave edges of “In Our Angelhood” and “Because of Whirl-Jack.” Other songs, such as the sweeping “Sugar Hiccup” and the romantic “From the Flagstones” exhibit an ingenuity uniquely their own.
