Free Music Review: Immersed in flowing crystalline midnight
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a gorgeous fusion of evocative, dreamy sound, courtesy of Harold Budd & the Cocteau Twins, whose styles mesh as if made for each other. The music conjures ghosts, memories, winter stars, whispers of frost ... and yet there's a floating, detached warmth to it all, as well. It's the sound of crushed diamonds, languid chimes of ice, hushed thunder, blind white birds silently circling under the polar night skies ... it's a tangible chill that paradoxically nestles & soothes the listener, without ever becoming pointless New Age noodling. Absolutely perfect for introspection, reflection, drifting ...
The Moon and the Melodies Poster
Domestic debut of the Scottish trio's 1986 ambient collaboration album with Harold Budd for the 4AD label. Contains eight tracks, most of which sound like Cocteau Twins with a moody organ added. Vocalist Elizabeth Fraser sings on 'Sea, Swallow Me', 'Eyes Are Mosaics', 'She Will Destroy You' & 'Ooze Out And Away, Onehow'; the other cuts, 'Memory Gongs', 'Why Do You Love Me?', 'The Ghost Has No Home' & 'Bloody And Blunt', are all instrumentals. Highlyrecommended to any fan of Cocteau Twins or Budd! 1999 release.Alternative Rock Music CDs
