Cocteau Twins & Harold Budd - The Moon and The Melodies

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 signalled a possible future for the trio, yet it was a path they’d never take again. Now, almost forty years after it was first released, it’s being reissued on vinyl for the first time – remastered from the original tapes, by Robin Guthrie himself.

• The immense, unique collaborative album between Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd back on vinyl for the first time since 1986
• Remastered by Robin Guthrie
• Faithful black vinyl repress, complete with original 23 Envelope artwork
