The chief sound architect of Cocteau Twins and Violet Indiana, Robin Guthrie and his reverb-drenched guitar textures have had a significant impact on alternative music since the early '80s. Numerous acts have emulated his style, and several others -- including Felt, the Gun Club, Ian McCulloch, and Lush -- have enlisted his production skills. Along with Cocteau Twins partner Simon Raymonde, Guthrie launched the Bella Union label during the '90s for splinter projects and artists they wanted to help nurture. Guthrie continued running the label during Violet Indiana's late-'90s/early-2000s run. In 2003, he released his first solo album for the label, the completely instrumental Imperial. Continental (Darla), another instrumental album -- as well as the Everlasting EP (Rocketgirl) -- followed in 2006. He has frequently collaborated with pianist Harold Budd, dating back to 1986's The Moon and the Melodies and Budd's 1988 album The White Arcades. The two scored Greg Araki's Mysterious Skin and released a pair of simultaneously released albums -- After the Night Falls and Before the Day Breaks -- on Darla in 2007.
