This is an atmospheric, ethereal experience. I imagine a shadowy entity floating slowly over a quiet pond in the woods and dropping little pebbles from above to make ripples in the water, then going on its way. It is hauntingly beautiful music, good for a quiet summer night as a light breeze lifts the curtains and darkness settles in among the furniture.
I only first heard Harold Budd around five years ago, after reading about him in a book about ambient music. This piece is from the album The Pearl. Recorded with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. Highly recommended.
