Our Take

Harold Budd and Brian Eno are back at it again with their collaboration on "Ambient 2/The Plateaux Of Mirror." And let me tell you, it's like taking a relaxing bubble bath while being serenaded by a choir of angels.

The album opens with "First Light," a track that sets the tone for the entire listening experience. It's like walking through a peaceful meadow on a sunny day, with Budd and Eno guiding you every step of the way.

The standout track has to be "An Arc Of Doves," which is just pure magic. It's like being transported to a mystical realm where time stands still and all your worries melt away. Budd's delicate piano notes combined with Eno's ethereal synthesizers create a truly mesmerising soundscape.

But don't get too comfortable, because "Not Yet Remembered" will jolt you back to reality with its haunting melodies and eerie atmosphere. It's like a musical rollercoaster that takes you on a journey through the depths of your subconscious.

Overall, "Ambient 2/The Plateaux Of Mirror" is a masterpiece that solidifies Budd and Eno's status as ambient music legends. So grab a cup of tea, dim the lights, and let this album take you on a sonic adventure you won't soon forget. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Harold Budd

Harold Budd & Brian Eno are like the dynamic duo of experimental ambient music. Budd, the American composer known for his minimalist and avant-garde style, joined forces with the British icon Brian Eno, a man who practically invented the genre of ambient music. Together, they create sonic landscapes that are as mesmerizing as they are otherworldly. Budd, with his delicate piano compositions and Eno, with his mastery of electronic soundscapes, seem like an unlikely pairing on paper. But when you listen to their collaborations, it's like the puzzle pieces fitting together perfectly. They enhance each other’s strengths and create a musical symbiosis that is truly magical. Their first collaboration, "The Pearl," released in 1984, is a testament to their shared vision and creative synergy. The album is a meditation on calmness and tranquillity, a sonic journey that transports you to a place of serenity and peace. Budd’s gentle piano chords interweave with Eno’s ethereal synthesizer sounds, creating a soundtrack for meditation and reflection. Their latest album, "Beyond Even (1992-2001)," is a collection of unreleased recordings that showcase the evolution of their musical partnership over the years. It's a treasure trove of ambient gems that will delight both longtime fans and newcomers to their work. In a world filled with noise and chaos, Harold Budd & Brian Eno’s music serves as a soothing balm for the soul. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most beautiful moments can be found in the quiet spaces between the notes. So sit back, relax, and let their music wash over you like a gentle wave. Your ears will thank you.
