Available on Vinyl for the First Time Since 1986. Harold Budd Elizabeth Fraser Robin Guthrie Simon Raymonde On 23 August, almost forty years after it was initially released, The Moon and the Melodies by Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd is being reissued on vinyl for the first time remastered, from the original tapes, by Robin Guthrie himself. The Moon and the Melodies is a singular record within the Cocteau Twins catalogue unusually ethereal, even by their standards, and largely instrumental, guided by the free-form improvisations of Harold Budd, an ambient pioneer who had drifted into their orbit as if by divine intervention. Building on the atmospheric bliss of Victorialand, released earlier the same year, it signaled a possible future for the trio, yet it was a path theyd never take again. Over the ensuing years, The Moon and the Melodies has attracted a passionate fan base. Its most atmospheric tracks routinely turn up in ambient DJ sets. Sea, Swallow Me is one of the Cocteau Twins most streamed songs on Spotify, having found a new life on TikTok, where it serves as the soundtrack to innumerable expressions of hard-to-express melancholy. For such a low-key affair, the album casts a long shadow but Raymonde believes the records uniqueness stems directly from its humble, unpremeditated origins. It captured a moment in time between friends that are enjoying making music together. Really, thats the essence of it. Product Reviews Hide Show Write a Review
