Rarity from the Melody Maker/Rough Trade Distribution 'Gigantic! 2' compilation.
'The High Monkey Monk' sees the Cocteaus in spiraling melody mode, leaping vocals and shimmering guitar against a restrained, reflective percussive drift.
To me, it sounds like it was recorded at the same time as their Fruitopia ad (available over at the excellent cocteautwins.com site), having the same feel.
