Description:
The Moon and the Melodies", a masterpiece by the Cocteau Twins, who laid the foundation of dream pop, and Harold Budd, a pioneer of ambient music, has been remastered and reissued by Robin Guthrie for the first time! The Moon and the Melodies", a masterpiece released in 1986 by the Cocteau Twins, a band representing the prestigious 4AD label and the founders of dream pop, and Harold Budd, a pioneer of ambient music, has been reissued for the first time 28 years after its initial release. Now, 28 years after its original release, The Moon and the Melodies is being reissued for the first time, remastered from the original tapes by Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins. This is a singular album in the Cocteau Twins' catalog, unusually ethereal even by their standards. It is also largely instrumental, supported by the free-form improvisations of ambient pioneer Harold Budd, who joined them as if by divine intervention.Building on the supreme atmospheric resonance of "Victorialand," released earlier that same year, this album hinted at new possibilities for the trio known as the Cocteau Twins, but they never went down this path again. The album was never really supposed to happen, and no one can even recall exactly how it came about in the first place. According to Robin and Simon Raymond's recollection, the independent television station Channel 4 approached "4AD" with the idea of a film project that would pair musicians from different genres. However, Harold Budd, who passed away in 2020, said the following in an interview in the 1980s: "At the time, the Cocteau Twins were the most popular band in the world. At the time, the Cocteau Twins expressed interest in covering his songs, so the music publisher connected the two. In any case, the film project never materialized. Robin and Simon recall it this way. We were talking to Harold and we were all very excited about it. We were talking to Harold, and we were all very excited, in a Cocteau Twins kind of way, which is rarely exciting, and in a kind of very dark way. Let's just do it.I've already booked a flight, and we decided to spend some time with him at the studio and see what happens." (1/2)
