Quoted from the Cocteau Twins website:
"We never wanted it to be a Cocteau Twins album," continues Simon. "We even
went to great lengths not to use the band name. We just listed all of our
names individually. Everyone made a big deal out of it. Everyone had this idea
that it was a really serious album. It wasn't. It was just something we wanted
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) combines 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 collections of fans of both.
