Yes....its probably too long for a quick dip in and out of, but if you know every note like me, it takes you back to one of the best live performances I have ever seen at Newcastle City Hall, and Andy Latimer's guitar solo's are superb. Dark room and a glitterball recommended to create the cosmic atmosphere.
I dont have to discover Andy Latimer of Camel, I am well acquainted with his excellent work. Being in a bit of a Seventies timewarp though I hadnt followed his later work. Much the same with Joni Blue/Court and Spark/Hejira/Hissing of Summer Lawns and I've really got enough genius to enjoy without following her every release.
So today I discovered this from Andy Latimer and the 1984 incarnation of Camel. Excellent piece...starts off a bit knopfleresque in the guitar work, then probably the only bit of pan-fluting I like, and then his trademark guitar at the finish. Tiny bit Alan Parsons Project-ish as well.

Here we go again.
Couldn't help noticing the Cocteu Twins song is Frou frou.
Frou frou was the lovely Imogen Heap's first venture into commercial music (her band name was Frou Frou).
I first heard of the Cocteu Twins in connection with 4AD that 'built' temporary bands for specific projects. I bought a CD by This Mortal Coil - It'll End In Tears for this:
Which has elements of the Cocteu Twins in it, namely Liz Frazer.
On the strength of that I bought some Cocteu Twins CDs.
Disappointment reigned

Blimey! That's some weird stuff you guys are in to.
Well then, here's another track from another fav band of mine from that era you may perceive as weird.
I didn't realise at the time the 2nd-half piano solo was tinkled by Jools Holland no less (because I'm no fan of jazz) but it's the icing on the cake for this track imo.
