Harold Budd - The Pavilion Of Dreams (Vinyl)
Produced by Brian Eno in 1978, The Pavilion Of Dreams stands toe-to-toe with another minimalist masterpiece also released that year, Steve Reich's Music For 18 Musicians.
Budd's gorgeous pieces reveal a lightness of touch that draws the listener in, while sublime voices float in and out as if in a recurring dream. Featuring saxophonist Marion Brown and multi-instrumentalists Gavin Bryars and Michael Nyman, The Pavilion Of Dreams remains a master class in exquisite timbre and shimmering texture.
The Pavilion Of Dreams was both the final release on Eno's Obscure imprint and a transition point towards his seminal ambient series. This first-time reissue is recommended for fans of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jon Hassell and Mark Hollis.
Tracklist:
A1. Bismillahi 'Rrahmani 'Rrahim
A2. Let Us Go Into The House Of The Lord / Butterfly Sunday
B1. Rossetti Noise / The Crystal Garden And A Coda
B2. Juno
