(1996)Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic link Pitchfork Media link Milk & Kisses is an album by Cocteau Twins issued in 1996. It proved their last; a meeting two years later to record a new album ended with the breakup of the band.
The song "Rilkean Heart" is a homage to Jeff Buckley, who was a lifelong lover of the work of poet Rainer Maria Rilke.
The Asian edition of Milk and Kisses contains two bonus tracks ("Flock Of Soul" and "Primitive Heart"[1]) and a version of "Serpentskirt" sung by Elizabeth Fraser with C-pop artist Faye Wong as a duet. Wong later recorded an acoustic version of "Rilkean Heart" in her 1997 album Faye Wong, in which Guthrie and Raymonde also wrote a new song "Yu Le Chang" ("Amusement Park") for her.
