HAROLD BUDD, ELIZABETH FRASER, ROBIN GUTHRIE, SIMON RAYMONDE
The Moon And The Melodies
1986 Canada pressing

I just spent over 6 hours doing Christmas shopping, and I’m like Ben Stiller in the movie Heavyweights after the fat kids lock him up.

I am a broken man.

So it’s time for an incredible #ambient #etheral album to help relax me.

I’ve long been a fan of this record, and when I first discovered it, it was solely because I saw the name Elizabeth Fraser on it. A woman who’s voice is OTHERWORLDLY and who’s work I already loved from The Cocteau Twins.

An incredible evening listen, and a record I’m glad to have an ‘86 pressing of, as all the reissues I’ve heard don’t sound very good.

Beautiful album. A lovely, glacial hug.
Serenity NOW.

LUCIA HWONG
House Of Sleeping Beauties
1985 U.S. pressing

A wonderful, #etheral and #ambient album from Hawaii-born Lucia Hwong; which is very Blade Runner-y in some spots, and very Last Emperor in others.

It’s got such a cool mystical and Oriental vibe to it, but also has a few brief moments of intensity.

I’m not exactly where or when I got this; I’m guessing from some road trip somewhere in the states, or maybe when I was on tour? Because I certainly didn’t get it here.

Again, probably not a record for the general music listener, but I enjoy it a great deal.

COCTEAU TWINS
Tiny Dynamine / Echoes In A Shallow Bay
1985 Canada 2x12” Double E.P. Compilation

What a sublime pair of E.P.s, & the perfect choice for last spin.

After the week I had, Elizabeth Fraser’s voice is just what the doctor ordered before I sleep long and hard.

This pressing is phenomenal. All of the ‘85 pressings (both together and separate) are FAR superior to the remastered reissue from a decade ago.
A++

Probably my second oldest Mobian character finally getting the re-design she so desperately needed. Frost originally was just a generic 'Evil' feline with nothing really else going for her outside of being somewhat based on Naruto things back in the days. Now? She's a ethereal Necromancer feline. ♥
