Domestic debut of the Scottish trio's 1986 ambient collaboration album with Harold Budd for the 4AD label. Contains eight tracks, most of which sound like Cocteau Twins with a moody organ added. Vocalist Elizabeth Fraser sings on 'Sea, Swallow Me', 'Eyes Are Mosaics', 'She Will Destroy You' & 'Ooze Out And Away, Onehow'; the other cuts, 'Memory Gongs', 'Why Do You Love Me?', 'The Ghost Has No Home' & 'Bloody And Blunt', are all instrumentals. Highlyrecommended to any fan of Cocteau Twins or Budd! 1999 release.

Cocteau Twins guitarist Robin Guthrie and legendary composer Harold Budd team to create a soundtrack of lush and atmospheric soundscapes to award-winning writer-director Gregg Araki’s critically-acclaimed new drama MYSTERIOUS SKIN. Guthrie and Budd’s sparse, tonal music reflects the contemplative journey of troubled boyhood friends Neil (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Brian (Brady Corbet), whose lives as young adults weave them down a slippery and dangerous path of self-discovery in MYSTERIOUS SKIN. The film, based on the Scott Heim novel, has been hailed by critics as writer-director Gregg Araki's finest film to date, and has been selected for the Sundance, Venice and Toronto Film Festivals. Araki’s career spans nearly 20 years, during which he has written, directed, and produced many controversial and edgy films, exploring and dissecting the strange currencies of sexual relationships. His credits include SPLENDOR, THE DOOM GENERATION and NOWHERE.

As COCTEAU TWINS guitarist and producer, Robin Guthrie is the man responsible for creating that famous sound and opening the door for My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Ride, et al. Darla Records is very proud to offer Robin Guthrie's second instrumental album Continental. Dare I say... continental is Robin's strongest all-instrumental bliss out, or make out, record since Cocteau Twins. Robin gives more heart and soul on Continental than on his previous instrumental release Imperial. Continental is more focused, stronger in feeling, and in composition. Of course all of Robin's signature elements are here: Shimmering guitars, ethereal moods as fluid and deep as any of Eno's, and yes, he does at times thankfully bring the rock. The mood overall is classic Robin Guthrie. Fans of the Cocteau Twins and all they've spawned, please welcome back your daddy. This is the first of four new Robin Guthrie records for Darla. Robin's music is a treasure. He's one of the great all-time heroes of the current bliss pop generation, which includes Mahogany, Auburn Lull, Ulrich Schnauss, Manual, Sweet Trip, Windy & Carl, Landing, Aarktica, Yellow6, and many, many others.

罗宾大叔，Cocteau Twins的吉他手。在CT解散后自立门户出专辑。这么多年了，很多人说罗宾已经慢慢摆脱了CT的风格，但我觉得他还保持着当年CT的风格，虚无缥缈烟雾般的吉他声，还是孤独且绝望着。
