Cocteau Twins - The Moon and the Melodies - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: 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 signaled 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. No-one involved can recall exactly how it came about. As Guthrie and Simon Raymonde remember it, the independent television station Channel 4 approached them about a film project pairing musicians from different genres. In interviews in the 1980s, however, Budd (who sadly passed away in 2020), believed his linked them after the group had expressed interest in covering one of his songs. In any case, the film never happened. InchBut we'd spoken to Harold, and we were all quite excited about it,Inch Raymonde recalls. Convening in the band's newly built recording studio, all four got on immediately and over a fortnight, made a quite astounding record. The Moon and the Melodies has attracted a passionate fan base. It's most atmospheric tracks routinely turn up in ambient DJ sets. 'Sea, Swallow Me' is one of the Cocteau Twins' most streamed songs on Spotify. Raymonde believes the record's uniqueness stems from it's unpremeditated origins. InchIt captured a moment in time between friends that are enjoying making music together. That's the essence of it.Inch Album Tracks 1. Sea, Swallow Me 2. Memory Gongs 3. Why Do You Love Me? 4. Eyes Are Mosaics 5. She Will Destroy You 6. The Ghost Has No Home 7. Bloody and Blunt 8.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
