  Harold Budd ▪ Elizabeth Fraser ▪ Robin Guthrie ▪ Simon Raymonde ‎- The Moon And The Melodies [CAD 611 UK 1986 24-Bit FLAC] It's time to immerse yourself in an album which wraps itself around you like an ethereal fluffy duvet. Never credited to just The Cocteau Twins & Harold Budd - each artist is named in their own right, however to cut to the chase, The Moon And The Melodies is The Cocteau Twins accompanied by one of our times greatest composers, plus of course Richard Thomas from Dif Juz who gets a small credit for his sax and drums.  The results are of course more ambient than anything previously from the Grangemouth band, but there are numerous reference points to older Cocteau Twins work throughout. Four of the tracks do fit within the basic Cocteau formula -  The Moon And The Melodies  was recorded during their most prolific period. Should you seek further recommendations, the beautiful  The Ghost Has No Home is one of the most soothing composition...
