Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This sublime, tranquil recording features 11 haunting ambient tone poems for treated piano and ghostly electronic backdrops. They are crafted from simple chords, arpeggios, or melodies frequently trailed by delicate electronic whispers that produce dreamy results. Even though Budd and Eno chose to compose and record with a minimalist style, their gorgeous, moody music evokes so much more, for the reverberating spaces between the notes are just as important as the notes themselves. In an interesting experiment, both "Against the Sky" and "An Echo of Night" explore the same melancholic musical theme in different settings--the former is a sparse piano piece with gentle electronic treatments, the latter is a murky synth work set against a nocturnal outdoor backdrop. (Budd later explored the theme again as the ethereal elegy "Olancha Farewell" on his 1986 solo album Lovely Thunder.) Beautifully understated, the slow-motion ballet of The Pearl is striking ambient impressionism that was highly original in its day, well before the myriad of New Age imitators its composers spawned, and it remains fresh and vital two decades later. --Bryan Reesman
