The delightful The Moon and the Melodies by Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd - now remastered from the original tapes by Robin Guthrie - is a singular record within the Cocteau Twins’ catalogue. Unusually ethereal and largely instrumental, the music was guided by the free-form improvisations of Harold Budd.

 

“It captured a moment in time between friends enjoying making music together. Really, that’s the essence of it.” - Simon Raymonde
