This brings some awesome talent together to bring some heaven for us to enjoy. Elizabeth Fraser's vocals celestial as ever. The instrumentals are a provocative and intriguing blend that must be the sound of moonlight.
I'm not as inclined to call this 1986 4AD release a "Cocteau Twins" recording. Although released the same year as Harold Budd's classic Lovely Thunder, for obvious reasons (Liz Fraser's vocal) The Moon And The Melodies was probably better remembered for being more radio friendly than Budd's commercial sounding "Thunder". Strange in that (being a huge Budd fan), I never purchased this recording until I saw the Cocteau Twins 1993 "Evangeline" video and noticed a distinct "Budd" characteristic about the sound I was hearing from my television set. Dark and lush shimmering textures with Budd's trademark icy sparse piano, The Moon And The Melodies is perhaps the pure definition of the "shoe gazer" pop that defined the decade of the 80's. This will most certainly turn Budd fans into Cocteau Twins fans...and vice versa.
If you like ambient music, and you like Cocteau Twins, you need to get this album. There are two really cool melodic songs, as well as a few interesting ambient songs. Overall, a very cool album which I have enjoyed for over a decade.
