Cocteau Twins & Harold Budd - The Moon and the Melodies - LP

First Time on Vinyl Since 1988, Remastered from the Original Tapes by Robin Guthrie

The Moon and the Melodies is a singular record in the Cocteau Twins' catalogue — unusually ethereal and largely instrumental, guided by the free-form improvisations of ambient pioneer Harold Budd. Building on the atmospheric bliss of Victorialand, it signaled a possible future for the trio that they would never take again. Now, nearly forty years on, it returns to vinyl for the first time since 1988, remastered from the original tapes by Robin Guthrie himself, with its most atmospheric tracks — including the much-streamed "Sea, Swallow Me" — still beloved by ambient listeners.
