The Moon and the Melodies

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 they'd never take again.
