5.0 out of 5 stars Will transport you to somewhere else, 25 Aug 2005
By A Customer
One of my first experiences of ambient music was Flowered Knife Shadows, which is on this album. I was lying on my bed, eyes closed, lights out, relaxing in quietude. Then that track began. Where that track took me was a rare and unique experience. I fear I may have aroused expectation by my comments and disturbed the depth of relaxation one might have achieved in anticiption of that track, so please forget I said anything at all and buy this album if chilling out completely is your thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surreal, sublime: music that resonates within the soul., 13 Sep 2000
By A Customer
'Lovely Thunder' is arguably Harold Budd's supreme masterpiece. It is a synthesis of slow, melancholic sounds that resonate within the soul.

I could play this music repeatedly forever. In fact I sometimes wonder if the sounds were not born from the very spaces that exist before and after life.

Rarely can such perfection of flow be sustained in ambient music. Here there is an almost hypnotic lingering of tones, broken at times by atmospheric thunder and desolate sparseness.

But it is music of the surreal and the sublime. Gentle and relaxing, its mood is rarely in any hurry.

Probably the CD to take with you in solitary confinement on your desert island.

4.0 out of 5 stars A charming hotchpotch, 23 Sep 2003
By Timothy Hooper - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Regular viewers will know what to expect from a Harold Budd release and Lovely Thunder compares well with his previous and subsequent output. It is, however, slightly less focused than usual and stylistically it leaps from his hazy piano pieces to drifting strings and melodic drones more than other LPs. Still highly worthwhile owning and a great introduction to his work.
