ALBUM REVIEW :
The Moon and the Melodies is a collaboration between the Cocteau Twins
and keyboardist/composer Harold Budd that fits soundly between the stylistic
signatures of the two, both of whom make organic music that relies heavily on
electronics. Budd's use of spacious treated piano and keyboard sounds
(influenced by a previous collaborator, Brian Eno) combine with the Cocteau
Twins' shimmering waves of guitars and Elizabeth Fraser's layered wordless
vocals to create what amounts to a soundtrack to a dream about sleeping, with
saxophones courtesy of Richard Thomas (of the now defunct Dif Juz) breathing
further life into the music. Too bland to be the best introduction to the music
of either, but a welcome addition to the collection of fans of both.
