Cocteau Twins & Harold Budd - The Moon & The Melodies

4AD - 4AD0642LP

Black Vinyl

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. Faithful black vinyl repress, complete with original 23 Envelope artwork.
