| | Harold Budd / Elizabeth Fraser / Robin Guthrie / Simon Raymonde Moon And The Melodies CD Harold Budd / Elizabeth Fraser / Robin Guthrie / Simon Raymonde Discography of CDs
Marry the langorous refrains of Harold Budd with the piquant etherealism of the Cocteau Twins and you have a union made in heaven. THE MOON & THE MELODIES is a perfectly apropos title for the eight fragile sound-poems which decorate the digital code in this recording.
Budd's fragmentary piano notes glisten like dewdrops on the morning lawn during "Memory Gongs," while Liz Frasier's mellifluous voice cascades over the frozen drum patterns and processed guitar opalescence of "Sea, Swallow Me." What Budd brings to these proceedings is an air of classical sophistication that reigns in any more mainstream aspirations. These beautifully serene mood pieces run the gamut from introspection ("Why Do You Love Me?") to probing pop-form curiosity ("Eyes Are Mosaics"). It's a sonic caress for those lazy Sunday mornings.

Purchase Moon And The Melodies CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs (1989) Box Set
Moon And The Melodies album
 $38.09   
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson.
Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift to hardcore fans that, say, THE BOOTLEG SERIES is to Dylan-philes.
DREAMS' strengths are considerable. First and foremost, the box contains nearly five wall-to-wall ...
| | Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) CDs (1990)
Moon And The Melodies CD music
$15.99 
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos.
This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased cuts and singles. From the classic anthem "Pickin' Up the Pieces," which kicks things off, through "You Better Think Twice," "C'mon," "Kind Woman," "From the Inside," "A Good Feelin' to Know," "Crazy Eyes," and on and on, this is wonderful music, ahead of its time in many ways. If Poco had arrived on the scene in the early '90s, they would have been kings of the country charts. Of course, without Poco, country music wouldn't have taken on the rock trappings that it did ...
| | Cocteau Twins Victorialand CD (1986) Remastered
Moon And The Melodies music CDs
$9.79 
In the two years following TREASURE, the Cocteau Twins released three EPs: AIKEA-GUINEA, TINY DYNAMINE, and ECHOES IN A SHALLOW BAY. Each of these records saw the band moving progressively further away from the heavier sound of previous releases. VICTORIALAND (1986) was the apex of this trend and easily their most ethereal, airy album. Interested listeners should also check out the band's 1986 THE MOON AND THE MELODIES, recorded with ambient musician Harold Budd.

| | Cocteau Twins Treasure CD (1984) Remastered
Moon And The Melodies songs
$10.15
With their third album, TREASURE, the Cocteau Twins settled on what would, from then on, be their primary lineup--vocalist Elizabeth Fraser, guitarist Robin Guthrie, and bassist Simon Raymonde. One of the band's most impressionistic records, it abandons the "phrase" titles of previous records in favor of mythological-sounding one word names, encouraging listeners to make up their own interpretations of the songs. Sound-wise, ...
| | American Flyer/Spirit Of A Woman CD (2004)
Moon And The Melodies album
$12.49 
Originally released on United Artists. Includes liner notes by Richie Unterberger.
American Flyer has long been a favorite of singer/songwriter, L.A. country-rock, and '70s soft rock aficionados, partially because of the group's supergroup status, but chiefly because the music they made was very, very good. That pedigree was indeed impressive, with the four members consisting of former Pure Prairie League member Craig Fuller, Eric Kaz of the Blues Magoos, Doug Yule of the Velvet Underground, and Steve Katz, formerly of Blood, Sweat & Tears -- maybe not Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in terms of marquee name recognition, but surely a collection of gifted ...

Skye Sweetnam got her big break at an early age when her teen-rebellion anthem "Billy S." was tapped to appear on the soundtrack for the Mandy Moore film HOW TO DEAL. With interest in the young Canadian piqued, the youthful rocker entered the studio with expert producers, and emerged with her debut, NOISE FROM THE BASEMENT, ...
