Harold Budd - The Pavilion of Dreams (1978)


Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Harold Budd - Lovely Thunder (1986)
Cocteau Twins & Harold Budd - The Moon and Melodies (1986)
Harold Budd - The White Arcades (1988)
Harold Budd - The Serpent (In Quicksilver) + Abandoned Cities (1989)
Robin Guthrie & Harold Budd - After the Night Falls (2007)

A glimmering tapestry of harp, saxophone, angelic voices, synthesizer, Rhodes piano, and vibraphone. It's the perfect soundtrack to a contentedly lazy, stoned day, and all things considered, probably Budd's best album.

Track listing:
1. Bismillahi 'Rrahman 'Rrahim
2. Two Songs: Let Us Go into the House of the Lord / Butterfly Sunday
3. Madrigals of the Rose Angel: Rosetti Noise / The Crystal Garden and a Coda
4. Juno

  2. My favorite of Budd's. Like a Japanese woodblock painting of colored neon lights.
