Lorelei - Cocteau Twins

[link] From 1984.  Probably the first CT sing I heard, although I wouldn't have heard it until about 1989. A major precursor and inspiration of shoegaze. The instrumental tracks and vocal combine to produce the "ethereal" sound that their label 4AD became known for.  This music also overlaps with the sweeter ends of world music type stuff like Enya. The nonsensical lyrics are a signature of CT and in their way presaged the sublime noise aesthetic of shoegaze.
