 Nice review can't wait to check this out. I've loved Budd-man for a while and seen him live once too, he's a true master in the realm of expression. simple realy, y. PS- check out the work he did with Cocteau Twins, it's brilliant.

 Thanks, Ron, for making me really curious about this new and possibly last work from Harold Budd. His collaborations with Brian Eno ("The Plateaux Of Mirror", just re-released -and "The Pearl") are "ambient classics" and a millon miles away from any dull and dumb new age-stuff.In his later years, Harold Budd sometimes went too smooth for my taste, but still offered surprises from time to time, for example "By The Dawn´s Early Light" and "Luxa", other great works by this man from the Nevada desert.
