1:16	Cocteau Twins	Cicely	Treasure	4AD
	DJ Comments: Although critically acclaimed, the band itself weren't entirely happy with Treasure with Simon Raymonde lamenting "...I've always detested Treasure.

We regret crashing our Jet Skis into the Miami Beach Bridge in May. We regret fucking up Jason’s sampler somehow right before our attempt at covering “Idioteque” with Haunted Horses at Healthy Times’ Decades Covers Night. We regret postponing our “Let the Memories Begin” tour with Big Spider’s Back. We’re still waiting for our memories to begin. We regret not changing our name to ?$£ and making faded-ass beats. We regret not touring with Born Gold again this year. We regret that we haven’t started our all-bass band, “Bass-mon,” with Stephanie’s Matt Lawson. We regret being too stoned to leave our trailer during the filming of Cat People. We regret lying about half of these regrets..."
