Thank you Robin for your music and longevity.

I think it's almost criminal Guthrie hasn't been asked to do more movie soundtracks. I suppose it's the industry's loss. His music, at least to my ears, is very cinematic.
-
The Moon and the Melodies is my favorite of his. It was my introduction to Cocteau Twins music when I first heard it in 1989 and been a big fan since.

Great interview DJ Nocturna

Besides the amazing & noisy Link Wray,the nerdy intellectuals, Bill Nelson, R. Fripp & A. Belew; Robin Guthrie is most deffinitely my favorite electric guitarist. Nobody has his vision with dark to dreamy modulation. ❤
-
I think of my life in two parts: before and after I discovered the Cocteau Twins.
-
Great interview! It felt like you are talking to a friend in your own living room 😊. My ex husband made a pedal for Robin's guitar (we are from Uruguay), and he said it was really nice talking to him. Thank you for posting this! 👍🎶
