I must have listened to this album hundreds of times, maybe thousands, there having been days when I’ve allowed it to loop for hours on end. I’ll never tire of it.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot I could write about Harold Budd: about his early electronic compositions like The Oak Of The Golden Dreams<\/em>; about the way that The Pavilion Of Dreams<\/em> is the slowest jazz album you’ll ever hear; about the Eno\/Lanois production on The Pearl<\/em> which creates music that’s simultaneously earthed and extraterrestrial, the latter quality making it a (dark-eyed) sister to Apollo\u2014Soundtracks & Atmospheres<\/em>; about the time that Budd became the fourth member of the Cocteau Twins; about the William Burroughs influence in the poems that Budd reads on By The Dawn’s Early Light<\/em>; about the beautiful soundtrack he composed with Robin Guthrie for Gregg Araki’s Mysterious Skin<\/em>, a film whose subject matter isn’t beautiful at all\u2026 But it’s easier to simply say listen to this<\/a>.<\/p>\n
