Twilight Music: Budd/Fraser/Guthrie/Raymonde The Moon and The Melodies (1986)

Often mislabeled as a Cocteau Twins album with Harold Budd guesting on it, this “collaboration” album was a one-off between the ethereal trio and the ambient pianist. It would, however, mark the beginning of a friendship that would later spawn a working collaboration between Budd and guitarist Robin Guthrie. Short, brief, to the point, The Moon and The Melodies is a fine representation of the art of both parties.
