Product description

Harold Budd's "The Pavilion of Dreams," released in 1978 under Brian Eno's Obscure Records, is a seminal work that transcends the boundaries of ambient, minimalist, and drone music. This second album from the American composer is a serene exploration of sound, featuring just four tracks that collectively span 47 minutes of tranquil, atmospheric bliss.

The album opens with the evocative "Bismillahi 'Rrahmani 'Rrahim," setting the tone for a journey through Budd's delicate soundscapes. Each track is a masterclass in minimalism, with Budd's piano work intertwining seamlessly with the ethereal contributions of saxophonist Marion Brown. The Pavilion of Dreams is not just an album; it's an experience that invites you to pause and immerse yourself in its soothing, dreamlike ambiance.

Produced by the legendary Brian Eno, the album stands alongside other minimalist masterpieces of the era, such as Steve Reich's "Music For 18 Musicians." Budd's unique approach to composition, characterized by its simplicity and existential depth, makes "The Pavilion of Dreams" a standout work in the ambient genre. Whether you're a longtime fan of Harold Budd or a newcomer to his music, this album offers a profound and rewarding listening experience.

This 2023 Reissue LP is pressed on Purple vinyl.

I considered clicking that buy button numerous times for an older version at a high price, but I never went through with it. I'm so glad I waited because this one is absolutely amazing. This album is a true masterpiece, a magical piece of art. The vinyl quality is superb, and the music comes alive with this version.

Gorgeous pressing. The sound quality is fantastic. Extremely quiet pressing. Even though my copy appears a bit grimy, it plays perfectly.

Loud pressing seem to ruined metal parts. Ugh. RTI's quality control is faltering.
