Echoes in a Shallow Bay is an EP by Scottish alternative rock band Cocteau Twins, released on 4AD. The EP featured four non-album tracks. It was issued on 29 November 1985, two weeks after another EP, Tiny Dynamine. The two EP sets, which featured complementary artwork, were also released as a combined double EP in a gatefold cover, and as an eight-track CD. The EP was reissued in 1991 as part of The Box Set and in 2005 as part of the singles/EP collection Lullabies to Violaine.

Appearing the same month as its companion release Tiny Dynamine, Echoes maintains the more -lush feeling of that EP; if its songs aren't quite as memorable as some of those on Dynamine, they still provide that lovely, unique Cocteau feeling in their performances and arrangements. Great Spangled Fritillary" adds a touch of dark psychedelia to the proceedings, gong-like chimes and buried feedback drones mixing with the more expected Fraser singing and drum machine loops

Overall Impression - 10 This CD features the 1985 four-song EP's "Tiny Dynamite" and "Echoes in a Shallow Bay", which shows the Cocteau Twins in a bit of an experimental period between the "surely this is the voice of God" 1984 release TREASURE and the 1998 new-direction album BLUE BELL KNOLL. The production is much more raw and sparser than the songs of that album. Unlike earlier releases, guitarist and producer Robin Guthrie has here made the drum machine just a prominent as the guitar work  .

Album Tiny Dynamine, Echoes in a Shallow Bay. Melonella Lyrics.

Artist: Cocteau Twins. Album: Echoes In a Shallow Bay - EP, 1985. On this date in 1985, the COCTEAU TWINS released the 12 EP, ECHOES IN A SHALLOW BAY featuring the track MELONELLA, (December 20th, 1985). The early to mid-80s saw the Cocteau Twins release a series of EPs, all desperately beautiful stuff, with titles like ‘Echoes In A Shallow Bay’ and ‘Aikea Guinea’ reflecting the vast, topographical dimension the music was beginning to assume. Newcomers to the Cocteau Twins today might find it hard to imagine how rootless and fathomless it sounded thirty-something years ago, when each new Cocteau Twins recording sailed into our consciousness bearing a fresh cargo of wonder. Liz Fraser's voice was without precedent, a rainbow of Celtic dawn, folk myth, soul aria, nursery rhyme and lullaby.

Tiny Dynamine-Echoes in a Shallow Bay (24/96).

This is a beautiful album. The mid-eighties Cocteau Twins are simply magical. This album is a delight. Like their all best work-which may be all their work-this album is an experience. It’s worth owning on CD or vinyl so that you can play it all the way through and truly relish in this musical transcendental adventure.
